DENTURES

If all your teeth have been lost, dentures are used to restore your smile and mouth function.

There are two types of dentures:

1) Partial dentures – used when some natural teeth remain.

2) Complete dentures – used to completely replace all teeth. They are removable and may require adjustments to properly fit with the gums and mouth.

Dentures are removable replacements custom-made to resemble your natural teeth, so there should be no noticeable change to your appearance. In fact, dentures may even improve your smile!

New dentures may feel awkward or loose for the first few weeks until the muscles of your cheek and tongue learn to keep them in place. It may require some practice to get comfortable eating and speaking with dentures, but you’ll soon adjust and enjoy the benefits of a full mouth of teeth.
