The loss of a tooth or multiple teeth can be a devastating occurrence and has the potential to create a significant impact on the well-being of your mouth and subsequent overall health. Restricted ability to perform natural functions, a weakened jawbone, permanent damage to remaining teeth and an aesthetically lacking smile, are just a few of the changes which may occur after tooth loss.

An effective and popular solution to this problem can be found in the use of dentures – either in full or partial format.

A full denture is placed in the mouth after any remaining teeth have been removed and tissues have healed. Healing can take several months, during which time you are without teeth. The complete full denture replaces all the teeth in the mouth.

An immediate full denture is inserted immediately after the remaining teeth have been removed or all teeth lost, allowing the surrounding area of gum and tissue to heal whilst the denture is in place.

After tissue and gums have healed, the denture may need to be reshaped or relined as it becomes loose during the healing process.

Partial Dentures fill in the spaces where there are missing teeth and prevent other teeth from changing position. Partial Dentures rest on a metal framework that is attached to your natural remaining teeth. Crowns can sometimes be placed on some of you natural teeth and serve as anchors for the denture. Partial Dentures offer a removable alternative to bridges.

A new denture will not last forever as the mouth and face change shape and the denture will either have to be replaced or realigned.

There are different types of dentures depending on the individual need and variations on the structure are made in accordance to your specific requirements.
