Dentures

At our dental clinic, we offer a range of services to cater to your oral health needs. One of the key aspects we specialize in is dentures. In this page, we will provide a layman-friendly explanation of what dentures are, the different types available, their advantages, and the process of creating dentures.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable prosthetic appliances that replace missing teeth and the surrounding tissues. They are custom-made to fit your mouth and restore your ability to bite, chew, and speak confidently. Dentures are an excellent solution for individuals who have lost some or all of their natural teeth.

Types of Dentures

  1. Complete Dentures: These are used when all natural teeth are missing. They consist of a full set of upper and lower teeth and sit snugly over your gums
  2. Partial Dentures: When only a few natural teeth are missing, partial dentures are a suitable option. They are designed to fill the gaps and prevent the remaining teeth from shifting.

Advantages of Dentures

Dentures offer several benefits, including:

  • Restored Appearance: Dentures enhance your facial features, giving you a natural and youthful look.
  • Improved Chewing and Speaking: With dentures, you can bite and chew food more comfortably, as well as speak clearly.
  • Boosted Confidence: Dentures provide a renewed sense of confidence by restoring your smile and overall oral functionality.
  • Preserved Facial Structure: By filling in the gaps left by missing teeth, dentures help to maintain the structure and integrity of your face.

How Dentures Are Made

The process of creating dentures typically involves several steps:

  1. Initial Consultation: Our dental team will assess your oral health, take impressions of your mouth, and discuss your preferences and expectations.
  2. Design and Creation: Using the impressions as a guide, a dental laboratory will fabricate your custom dentures based on the specifications provided by our dentists.
  3. Fitting: Once the dentures are ready, we will carefully place them in your mouth, ensuring a comfortable fit and making any necessary adjustments.
  4. Follow-up Appointments: We recommend regular follow-up visits to our clinic so that we can address any concerns
