Dental Dentures

Poor dental hygiene and even injury may result in the loss of multiple adult (permanent) teeth. While this may not seem like a big deal, our teeth don’t just serve the purpose of chewing. Our teeth help us speak, retain our saliva, and they work together with our jaws to maintain the integrity of our facial bone structure. This is why, if you’re missing any teeth, we may recommend dentures to complete your smile again.

Dentures are a common type of dental restoration that consists of prosthetic (false) teeth that are attached to a base (usually made of acrylic) designed to look like your natural gums. When wearing dentures, they aid in chewing and help restore your bone structure. 

Some patients may require full dentures, while others may require partial dentures. As their names suggest, full dentures replace both rows of teeth, while partial dentures may replace only a portion of your teeth. Which is best for you depends on your unique case, and we will make the appropriate recommendation.
