Gain a New Smile With Dentures
Replacing missing teeth is essential to your oral health. If they are not replaced, it can lead to difficulties chewing and speaking. The jaw bone may also begin to deteriorate over time due to a lack of stimulation from the missing teeth.
Dentures are artificial tooth replacements that can restore your ability to eat and speak. They also provide support for facial muscles, preventing sagging and maintaining the structure of your face.
Whether you need to replace one tooth or an entire set, dentures can offer a functional and natural-looking solution.
Types of Dentures
We offer partial, full and implant-supported dentures. Each has unique benefits and advantages. Your dentist can help you decide on the right option for you.
-
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures can be a suitable option for people missing multiple teeth in one or both jaws. These dentures utilize special clasps that attach to natural teeth for added support and stability.
-
Full Dentures
Full dentures, also known as complete dentures, are designed to replace a full arch of missing teeth by resting on your gums and relying on your palate or jaw bone for support. Denture adhesive may be necessary to ensure a secure fit. Full dentures consist of artificial teeth and a gum-coloured base.
-
Implant-Supported Dentures
An implant-supported denture can replace multiple teeth at once. But instead of resting on top of your gums, an implant-supported denture is secured to your jaw bone with a dental implant.
How to Adjust to Your New Dentures
Getting used to a new pair of dentures can be challenging, but with practice and patience, you should soon be comfortable wearing them.
To start, practice speaking with your dentures by reading aloud. Start with simple sentences and gradually move on to more complex sentences and phrases. Try to concentrate on enunciating clearly rather than reading as fast as possible.
You should also introduce soft foods into your diet when you first get your dentures and slowly transition to harder foods as you adjust to chewing.
