Replacing lost or missing teeth has substantial benefits for your health and appearance.

A complete or full denture is a removable appliance designed to replace all natural teeth in either the upper or lower jaw. Dentures provide essential support for cheeks and lips, preventing the sagging facial muscles that can make a person appear older. They also restore your ability to eat and speak properly.

The base of a denture, known as a plate, can be made of acrylic (plastic) or metal. The teeth themselves are typically made of acrylic and can be customized to match your natural teeth, particularly in the case of partial dentures. A partial denture fills in the spaces created by missing teeth and is attached to your remaining natural teeth using metal clasps or precision attachments.

The process of making dentures involves several stages. Initially, an impression of your mouth is taken, followed by a fitting of a trial denture to ensure comfort and accuracy. After final adjustments, the complete denture is crafted and fitted. The turnaround time for this process is generally about 10 working days between each appointment.

Dentures can be easily adjusted or repaired over time. Whether you need an addition to accommodate newly missing teeth or a repair due to wear and tear, adjustments can be made to ensure your denture continues to fit well and function properly.
