Dentures

Dentures are another way of replacing missing teeth, compared to implants or bridges which are fixed or removable.

Full Dentures

These are made when no teeth at all are present on the upper or lower jaws. Dental implants are proving very successful in retaining dentures.

Partial Dentures

Cast Metal

The best of the partial dentures. But the supporting teeth must be healthy as it can be difficult to add to these dentures if a supporting tooth is lost. So a full examination by your dentist must be carried out prior to constructing a cast metal partial denture.

Acrylic (Plastic)

A cheaper form of partial denture that is constructed when cost is a factor or when the supporting teeth are not healthy, as it is easier to add to these dentures if another tooth is lost.

Dental Implants

To overcome traditional denture problems, dental implants are now available as an alternative. The dentures are matched to your existing tooth colour so they blend in with your smile.
