Dentures are custom-made removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They come in various forms and can be used to replace a few teeth (partial dentures) or a full set of teeth (complete dentures). Dentures are a practical solution to help you eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
We understand the significance of a confident smile and the role it plays in your overall well-being.
Dentures are a versatile and effective solution for restoring your smile and improving your quality of life. Our professional team of dentists is dedicated to providing you with the highest quality care, ensuring that your dentures are comfortable, functional, and natural.
Types of Dentures
- Acrylic Dentures: They are typically made of acrylic resin, a durable and lightweight material. Acrylic dentures are used when a patient has lost most or all of their teeth in an arch and require a full set of replacement teeth.
- Chrome Cobalt Dentures: Chrome Cobalt Dentures are removable partial dentures used to replace missing teeth when natural teeth are still present. They are popular for their strength and durability and are a popular choice.
- Flexible Dentures/Valplast: Flexi-dentures are partial dentures that are great for patients with natural teeth. They are made from a nylon flexible material known as Valplast, which offers several advantages over acrylic dentures.
- Immediate Dentures: Immediate dentures are temporary dentures. They are placed immediately after the extraction of natural teeth and serve as a temporary replacement for the missing teeth during the healing process, ensuring the patient doesn’t have to go without teeth.
- Implant-Retained Dentures: Implant-retained dentures are designed to attach to implants to enhance stability and function for individuals with missing teeth, whereas traditional removable dentures may not provide a secure fit or adequate support.
