Dentures
Advances in dental technology provide dentists with a variety of procedures to enhance a patient's smile. Dentures offer patients who have experienced tooth loss a natural-looking smile that lasts. Many patients find that dentures give them greater confidence in social situations while providing a similar function to their natural teeth.
How Dentures Work
Depending on the condition, the dentist may recommend partial or full dentures to restore a patient's smile.
After all remaining teeth have been removed and your gums have healed properly, the dentist will place the removable dentures. The dentures may feel awkward for the first few weeks; however, they should become comfortable and feel natural in your mouth.
Unlike full dentures, partial dentures only replace a few missing teeth while keeping your healthy natural teeth in place.
