Removable Dentures
Complex procedure that provides a replacement tooth to restore functionality and aesthetics.
What are Removable Dentures?
Removable Dentures are prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth. They are crafted to closely resemble natural teeth in appearance and function, improving your smile, speech, and chewing ability.
Partial Dentures: These replace some missing teeth while utilizing your remaining natural teeth for support and stability. They typically consist of artificial teeth attached to a metal framework with clasps that engage the existing teeth.
Complete Dentures: These replace all of the teeth in either your upper or lower jaw, or both. They rest directly on the gums and are held in place by suction and the natural contours of your mouth.
