Dentures

It is always preferable to keep your own teeth. However, if you need to replace one, two, or all of your teeth, dentures are a cost-effective way to restore your smile and improve the function of your molars. Depending on individual needs, they can be made with either a cast chrome (metal) or an acrylic (plastic) base.

Dentures can take some time to get used to. Most people become accustomed to them with practice and return to their regular lifestyle. If you are experiencing frustration or ill-fitting dentures, schedule an appointment to discuss the issues with your dentist. No one wants to live with constant frustration, and often with some minor adjustments, your denture will be more to your liking.

If you find your regular denture is really not suiting you, there are alternatives. Bridges provide a fixed alternative to partial dentures while full dentures can be held in place with ‘clips’ mounted onto dental implants.
