Dentures offer a suitable replacement for missing teeth.  

The management and care differ from a permanent solution which some prefer.

Dentures are one of the oldest forms of tooth replacement that is still a viable option and available to anyone. A full or partial denture works perfectly as a replacement for missing teeth.

Dentures are a short row or full set of upper or lower artificial teeth placed inside a colored acrylic mold made to resemble your natural gums.

• If a full upper denture is needed, flesh-colored acrylic is used and covers the roof of the mouth.
• A full lower denture is designed to follow the curve of the teeth, leaving space for the tongue.
• If all the teeth on the upper or lower gum line are missing, a full denture set is the best solution.

For those with only a few teeth missing, partial removable dentures can help fill the gap. The partial denture rests over your gums, similar to a full set. They are removable, making them easy to clean, and have the power to completely restore your smile.

Dentures are a great, cost-effective way to restore your smile and ability to eat and speak properly.

Denture Cost

The cost of your dentures will vary based on different factors. However, compared to other cosmetic dentistry treatments, dentures are a relatively inexpensive option for tooth replacement.

Are Removable Dentures Comfortable?

Removable dentures are custom created to fit your gum line comfortably. The artificial teeth are made of plastic, porcelain, and acrylic material. Full dentures are held in place by suction and a specially designed adhesive. Rarely do dentures fall out, but it is important to replace or reline the denture as needed to ensure the prosthetic piece continues to perform as expected.

If your dentures become uncomfortable due to constant sliding, or you prefer to have a stronger method of keeping them in place, denture implants may be an option. The titanium posts in dental implants are used to hook the dentures, holding them securely in place. Not only does this method keep dentures secure, it also can help your gums by transferring the pressure to the bone during biting, not the gums themselves.
