Accordion Sample DescriptionDentures are otherwise known as false teeth. They are removal which means it is something that you will need to take in and out to clean. Dentures can be used to replace a single tooth, all your teeth, or any number in between. Dentures are an affordable option for replacing multiple missing teeth.

Partial removable dentures use remaining natural teeth to keep it in, therefore it is important to have a thorough check -up of teeth and gum health. Quite often a full mouth x-ray is taken to ensure your teeth are healthy and strong enough to support a denture.

Partial dentures are either made of acrylic or metal. Metal is preferable as it is more comfortable and stronger as well as it lasts longer. While complete full dentures are only available in acrylic.

What procedures are involved in dentures? Dentures involve on average 4-6 visits from start to finish. We need to take multiple impression and checks to make sure the denture fits accurately to your jaw, matches the size, shape and color of your remaining teeth.
