Also known as false teeth, they are prosthetic teeth that replace missing natural teeth and provide support to the checks and lips. Dentures are supported by the surrounding tissue of the oral cavity and are worn by patients who have lost their natural teeth as a result of injury or illness. This restorative treatment is ideal for patients who are not candidates for dental implants, and for those who prefer to try other options for teeth replacement. They can either be removable or implant supported, complete or partial.
Complete Dentures are used by patients who are missing, or are in the process of losing, ALL their natural teeth. Complete dentures are custom designed to each patient for a tailored fit. They not only help with chewing and speaking but may also create a fuller face profile that can ultimately improve overall appearance.
Partial Dentures are used by patients who still have some of their natural teeth remaining and are missing only a few teeth in certain areas of the mouth. Usually, partial dentures are designed to fill in delta spaces between existing teeth. Partial dentures are removable and can be custom designed to cover an entire section of the mouth. Results can feel and look very natural.
