Dentures

If you are missing a number of teeth, not only can this be uncomfortable and affect your eating habits, it can also impact negatively on your confidence and make you feel self-conscious. Dentures can be the best option and can be worn straight away with minimal preparation to your remaining teeth.

They don’t however have to be lifeless, obvious and ill fitting. Modern dental technology means that you can now wear dentures which fit snugly and look and act as normal teeth and by using the best materials, design and dental laboratories this is now very possible.

There are two main types of denture:

• A full or complete denture acts as a prosthetic replacement for the upper or lower teeth. It fits on top of the gums and can be given extra support with denture adhesive. These require regular cleaning and can be removed easily.
• A partial denture is for people missing one or more teeth in a row. It is held in place with clips made of metal or tooth coloured material.
