Dentures: A Comprehensive Guide

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable appliances that replace missing teeth. They can be complete (for those who have lost all their teeth) or partial (for those who still have some natural teeth).

Types of Dentures

Complete Dentures: Designed for individuals who have lost all their teeth. They rest on the gums and are held in place by suction or adhesive.
Partial Dentures: Used when some natural teeth remain. They fill in the gaps created by missing teeth and prevent other teeth from shifting.

Why Choose Dentures?

Improved Appearance: Dentures help restore the smile and support facial structure.
Enhanced Functionality: They make it easier to eat and speak.
Affordable Option: Dentures are often a cost-effective solution for replacing missing teeth.

How Are Dentures Made?

Consultation: Your dentist will assess your oral health and take impressions of your mouth.
Customization: Dentures are created based on your unique dental structure and preferences.
Fitting: Once made, your dentist will ensure the dentures fit comfortably and securely.

Do Dentures Feel Comfortable?
