Dentures

What is it?

If you have lost a tooth, dentures and partial dentures can be worn as a replacement solution. They are natural looking and more comfortable than ever when created by an expert cosmetic dentist. There are two types of dentures: complete dentures and partial dentures.

Complete dentures:

Complete dentures can be either “conventional” or “immediate.” Full or complete dentures replace all teeth in both jaws. Replacing unsightly, diseased teeth can increase patients’ confidence, and patients can expect their dentures to look natural, unobtrusive, and attractive. Immediate dentures can be made before the teeth are extracted, and inserted directly after the teeth are removed, with measurements and impressions taken for the dentures before the teeth are extracted.

Partial dentures:

A removable, partial denture usually consists of replacement teeth attached to a pink or gum-coloured plastic base, which is then held in place in the mouth by a metal framework. Partial dentures are used when one or more natural teeth remain in the upper or lower jaw.
