If you have lost some or all of your natural teeth, dentures can be used to replace your missing teeth – improving your health as well as your appearance. Dentures prevent the sagging of facial muscles, which makes a person with no teeth look much older. Dentures also enable you to eat and speak normally.
Full dentures are always made from acrylic but partial dentures may be made from acrylic or metal. Acrylic dentures have the advantage that they can easily be added to if further teeth are likely to be lost in the next few years. Metal dentures sometimes stay in better as they clasp onto the remaining natural teeth and they can also be thinner and more comfortable to wear. We will be happy to advise you on which would be more suitable for your mouth and offer you a treatment plan which is tailor made for you.
