Dental implants are great, but there’s no denying that they are an expensive treatment. Dentures are a more affordable option and modern dentures are a really great replacement for missing natural teeth.

Dentures are false teeth, which are designed to restore function to the mouth in the event that the natural teeth are lost. Most people associate dentures with older people who have lost their teeth through ageing, but they can be effective for patients of all ages. It is possible to get partial dentures to replace a few missing teeth and complete or full dentures to replace an entire arch of missing teeth.

Benefits of denture treatment

Dentures have a bit of a bad reputation and if you’ve got an old-fashioned image of a huge set of false teeth sat in a glass by the bed, you will be pleasantly surprised by the modern versions. Today’s dentures are light, functional and aesthetically pleasing and they can have a really positive impact on your quality of life. If you have a large number of missing teeth this has an impact on your confidence and your appearance, as well as your speech and your ability to eat. If you’re missing out on a balanced diet because you’re avoiding foods that are hard to chew, this can affect your overall health. Dentures help to eradicate these problems and enable you to enjoy good health, as well as a beautiful, natural looking smile.
