Losing teeth can affect how you eat, speak, and feel about your smile. Dentures are a time-tested, reliable way to replace missing teeth and restore your confidence — made to look natural and fit comfortably.
When might you need dentures?
When gaps develop in your smile, the remaining teeth can start to shift, altering your bite and jaw structure. Without the support of your teeth, facial tissue can also sag over time, causing changes to your appearance. Dentures address these issues by filling the gaps and providing the structural support your face needs.
Full dentures and partial dentures
The right type of denture depends on how many teeth you have lost and where.
- Full dentures replace all teeth on one or both arches. They are custom-fitted to sit comfortably against your gum tissue.
- Partial dentures fill specific gaps where only some teeth are missing, anchoring to your remaining natural teeth for stability.
Both types are crafted to resemble your natural teeth in shape and colour, so they blend in seamlessly with your smile.
Benefits of well-fitted dentures
- Restore the appearance of your smile
- Support facial structure and prevent premature sagging
- Improve chewing ability and comfort
- Prevent remaining teeth from shifting
- Boost confidence in day-to-day life
- With proper care, can last up to ten years
Looking for a more permanent option?
For patients seeking a longer-lasting solution, dental implants may be worth considering. Implants are surgically placed titanium posts that act as artificial tooth roots, supporting a crown or bridge. They function like natural teeth, help preserve bone, and can last a lifetime with good care.
