If you have multiple missing teeth or a full arch of lost teeth, a denture could be the perfect solution. Dentures are sets of false teeth, which are designed to replace lost natural teeth; with a denture in place, you should be able to enjoy the same benefits as a healthy set of natural teeth, so you can smile with confidence and eat without anxiety or difficulty.
About dentures
Dentures are sometimes given a bad wrote-up, but they have come a long way in a relatively short space of time and modern dentures offer a really impressive alternative to missing teeth. If you have lost a number of teeth, this is likely to affect your ability to speak and eat, as well as your confidence when you smile and dentures provide a solution to these problems.
Dentures are usually made from plastic and acrylic and they are custom-made to fit the contours of your mouth for maximum comfort and the best aesthetics. It’s essential to check dentures regularly because the mouth constantly changes shape and if the denture starts to become loose, this can cause irritation, as well as affecting the function of the denture.
Dentures are held in place by the natural suction power of the gums; however, some people prefer to use a fixative for added stability. It is also possible to have implant-retained dentures, which are dentures that are anchored by dental implants. These dentures are more expensive, but the functionality is equal to natural teeth and there is no risk of a denture slipping or sliding.
