Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding gum tissue. They restore both the function and aesthetics of your mouth, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile confidently. Dentures can be full (replacing all teeth in a jaw) or partial (filling gaps when some natural teeth remain).
Why Choose Dentures?
Missing teeth can cause multiple issues, including:
Dentures provide a practical, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing solution to these problems, helping you regain both function and confidence.
Dentures are tailored to suit each patient’s oral condition. The main types include:
Used when all teeth in a jaw are missing, full dentures replace both upper and/or lower teeth. Conventional dentures are made after the gums have healed following tooth removal. Immediate dentures are placed immediately after tooth extraction, allowing you to maintain appearance during healing. Benefits: Restore complete chewing function and improve facial aesthetics.
Partial Dentures Designed for patients with some remaining natural teeth, partial dentures fill the gaps and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting. Usually attached with metal clasps or precision attachments. Can be removed for cleaning. Benefits: Protects natural teeth from shifting, restores partial chewing and speech, and improves smile aesthetics.
Implant-supported dentures attach to dental implants anchored in the jawbone, offering superior stability and comfort. Snap-in dentures are removable but stable. Fixed dentures are permanently attached and can only be removed by a dentist. Benefits: Excellent stability, improved chewing efficiency, prevents bone loss, and feels closer to natural teeth.
