Dentures
Dentures fill the gaps created by lost teeth. They help facial and jaw muscles work properly. Dentures allow you to eat, speak and smile normally.
Dentures are made of a plastic base supporting fabricated teeth. The base is shaded to match the color of your natural gum tissue. The teeth are usually made of porcelain or plastic.
Dentures are made to match the structure and form of your individual mouth. They will help maintain the look and structural integrity of your face.
Partial Dentures
A partial denture covers only part of your mouth. It stays in place with clasps that secure to your adjacent natural teeth. Partial dentures are recommended when one or more natural, healthy teeth still remain in the mouth.
Dentists always try to keep as many teeth as possible. The more natural teeth you have, the greater the integrity of your jawbone.
