Dentures
Dentures are used to replace missing teeth as an alternative to dental implants and fixed bridges. The loss of your teeth can have negative effects on your ability to chew food and your bite. Dentures are removable replacements for your teeth, designed to look and function like your own natural teeth and surrounding gum tissues. Modern-day dentures can look very realistic and natural and feel comfortable.
The procedure involves the dentist thoroughly examining your mouth to assess the suitability for dentures. Some of your existing teeth may need to be extracted first or you may need treatment to get your gums into good health before commencing any treatment. An impression of your gums will be taken and used as a model to fabricate your dentures to fit the contours of your mouth exactly. The dentures are then created to the exact specifications for your mouth.
