What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore oral function. They are custom-crafted to fit comfortably and look natural, providing an effective solution for patients with multiple missing teeth.

  • Full Dentures: Ideal for patients missing all teeth in the upper or lower arch.
  • Partial Dentures: Designed for those who still have some natural teeth remaining.
  • Implant-Supported Dentures: A secure and stable option that attaches to dental implants for enhanced comfort.
  • Immediate Dentures: Temporary dentures placed right after tooth extraction to maintain function and appearance.

Signs You Might Need Dentures

Dentures may be a suitable solution if you experience any of the following:

  • Missing Multiple Teeth – Gaps in your smile can affect both aesthetics and functionality.
  • Difficulty Chewing – Trouble eating certain foods due to missing teeth or discomfort can indicate the need for dentures.
  • Speech Problems – Missing teeth can cause speech difficulties that dentures can help resolve.
  • Severe Tooth Decay or Gum Disease – If teeth cannot be saved through restorative treatments, dentures may be the best option.
  • Facial Sagging – Tooth loss can lead to changes in facial structure, making dentures a great solution to restore facial volume and shape.
