What are dentures?

Dentures are known by many names, false teeth, plates, completes and partials. Dentures are used to replace anything from a single tooth to an entire arch. Some people need a few gaps filled while others have no teeth and need full denture restoration.

Dentures have evolved. They are no longer the lumps of plastic that look like ‘false teeth’. A good denture should be discreet and blend in perfectly creating a natural life-like smile. Dentures can be matched to old photographs to look and feel exactly how your natural teeth once felt. They can even include spaces, twists or overlaps that were once there. The luxury is you have the input to design your smile in whatever shade you choose!

All false teeth can be made in a variety of materials, from traditional acrylic to chrome cobalt. Most dentures are removable but some can be fixed implant retained.
