What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable dental prosthetics designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They come in various types, including partial dentures for individuals missing only a few teeth and complete dentures for those missing all teeth in an arch. Dentures are custom-made to fit comfortably and securely in your mouth.

 

Untreated tooth loss can lead to difficulties in eating, speaking, and even affect facial structure over time. Dentures empower individuals to regain control of their oral health and enjoy a happier, healthier smile.

What to Expect

 

During the dentures procedure, your dentist will begin with a comprehensive examination of your mouth, including measurements and impressions to ensure a precise fit. Next, any remaining unhealthy teeth that cannot be saved will be extracted to make way for the dentures. Once your mouth has healed, a series of fittings will be conducted to ensure the dentures fit comfortably and securely. Finally, your custom-made dentures will be placed, allowing you to enjoy restored function and a natural-looking smile.
