Restorations / Denture
What is a Denture?
Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth typically made out of an acrylic resin which at times incorporate porcelain or metal for additional structural support.
If you properly maintain your dentures they will appear natural and provide a perfect smile. Additionally, dentures help strengthen muscles controlling your expressions that require the support of your teeth, rid you of pronunciation problems caused by missing teeth and aid with chewing.
Types of Dentures
Full Dentures
A complete or full denture replaces the natural teeth and provides support for cheeks and lips.
Partials
A partial denture fills in the spaces created by lost or missing teeth and is attached to your natural teeth with metal clasps or devices called precision attachments.
Implant Supported Dentures
The complete dentures are attached onto dental implants that are used to provides greater stabilization during chewing.
