Dentures
An important step in maintaining a healthy confident smile is to replace missing teeth. When teeth are missing, the remaining ones can change position by shifting, tipping or moving down into an empty space. A Removable Partial Denture fills in the spaces created by a few missing teeth and also helps to fill out your smile. It allows you to evenly chew food, which is a difficult task when you are missing teeth.
Removable Partial Dentures consist of a metal or plastic framework with white plastic teeth and pink gum-like areas. The framework can include metal clasps or other attachments to hook onto teeth or implants that hold the denture in place.
Dentures can re-establish your normal chewing, help create a more youthful appearance and they will give you that confident smile back.
You can choose between traditional or implant supported dentures. Dentures can simply rest on the gums, teeth or they can be anchored by dental implants.
