Dentures

When tooth loss occurs due to decay or gum disease, dentures offer a versatile solution to maintain chewing, speech, and appearance. Crafted from acrylic or metal, these removable appliances mimic the look of natural teeth, enhancing your smile and restoring confidence.

Several types of dentures are available:

• Partial Dentures: Designed to fill spaces left by missing teeth, these utilize metal clips (“clasps”) to anchor to natural teeth.
• Full Dentures: These replace all upper or lower teeth, providing comprehensive restoration.
• Overdentures: Fitting over remaining tooth roots or dental implants, these offer stability, particularly in the lower jaw where bone support may be lacking.

Choosing dentures over other treatments often comes down to several factors:

• Cost-effectiveness: Dentures are typically more affordable than dental implants or bridges.
• Conservative approach: Unlike other treatments, dentures require no surgery or alteration of neighboring teeth.
• Removability: This option is advantageous for patients with limited hand dexterity, as cleaning is easier compared to fixed bridges.
• Transitional solution: Dentures can serve as an interim measure for individuals with worsening dentition, offering functionality and aesthetics until more complex treatments are pursued.
