About dentures

Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace one or more missing teeth and are custom-made to fit the shape of your mouth. They can be used to replace a full arch of teeth or just a few missing teeth, and are typically made from plastic or metal frameworks that carry single or multiple false teeth. Dentures help restore your ability to chew and speak comfortably, support facial muscles, and prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of position. Your dentist will take detailed impressions to ensure your dentures fit securely and look as natural as possible, and will provide advice on how to care for them so they remain comfortable and long-lasting.
