Dentures are essentially false teeth which can be used to replace one or several missing teeth. They can be made to closely resemble your natural teeth, so virtually no one will know you have them.

Once a tooth is lost, its impact on the appearance and health of your smile can be significant. Gaps can cause remaining teeth to shift out of position and damage teeth. Facial muscles can also begin to sag after tooth loss without the support of a denture. This can make you appear older than you actually are.

With dentures you can recapture the health and appearance of your smile after tooth loss. They can dramatically improve chewing ability and speech while providing support for facial muscles.

Depending on your individual needs (i.e. how many teeth need to be replaced and where) there are two main types of dentures available.

• The first is a removable denture often referred to as false teeth or a partial denture. This treatment can be used to replace missing teeth on a particular arch within the mouth. A partial denture rests on metal framework that is attached to your natural teeth.
  
  
• The second is a fixed bridge which can be used to replace fewer teeth which are close together on either the upper or lower arch. Click here to read more about Bridges.
