Dentures
What is a denture?
A denture is an appliance which is worn to replace lost or missing teeth to enable you to enjoy a healthy diet and smile with confidence.
A complete or full denture is one that replaces all of the natural teeth in either the upper or lower jaws.
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.
What are dentures made of?
The base of a denture is called a plate and can be made of either acrylic (plastic), metal or a nylon resin (Valplast). The teeth are normally made of acrylic and can be made to match your natural teeth.
For examples of our past cases please visit our smile gallery. We will be delighted to advise you as to the most suitable type of dentures for your individual needs.
