For many people, losing a tooth can be an upsetting experience, as they will understandably have concerns about their appearance and ability to eat.
However, there is a range of treatment options available that patients can discuss with their dentist when it comes to replacing their missing tooth or teeth, one of which is a denture.
A denture, or dentures depending on the number of missing teeth to be replaced, is a removable plate with one or more false teeth attached to it. Although many of us will be familiar with older relatives who experience ill-fitting or unnatural-looking dentures, our modern techniques and materials mean this is no longer the reality for patients today.
Using the latest practices, we can offer customised dentures that look and perform incredibly well, eliminating the problems of discomfort and long-term damage so often associated with poorly-fitting dentures.
Our team will work closely with you to discuss the most suitable replacement options, including the right materials for your denture based on your requirements and circumstances.
