Dentures

Losing your teeth can significantly impact your smile and your ability to eat and speak comfortably. Fortunately, dentures offer a functional and aesthetic solution to this, restoring your confidence and quality of life.

With advancements in dental technology, today's dentures are more comfortable, natural-looking and functional than ever before, making them ideal if you are missing several or all of your teeth.

What are dentures, and who needs them?

Dentures are custom-made replacements for missing teeth and can be taken out and put back into your mouth. They are suitable for those who have lost some or all of their teeth due to decay, gum disease, or injury.

Types of Dentures:

• Complete Dentures: For when all teeth are missing.
• Partial Dentures: For when some natural teeth remain, preventing shifting of the remaining teeth.

What is the process for getting dentures?

Receiving dentures, whether complete or partial, takes several steps, usually over a few weeks.

• We start by taking impressions of your jaw and measuring how your jaws relate to each other and how much space is between them.
• The impression is used to create a mould in the exact shape and position of the denture. It's essential for you to try this model several times.
• We will discuss the dentures' colour, shape and fit before casting the final fitting.

Can dentures improve your quality of life?

Absolutely. Dentures restore the physical appearance of your smile and improve your ability to speak and chew. They support the facial muscles, preventing sagging and giving a more youthful appearance.

Many wearers find that their self-esteem and confidence are greatly improved with dentures.
