Full dentures, also known as complete dentures, are designed to replace all of the teeth in either the upper or lower jaw, or both. They are made to sit comfortably on the gums, held in place by suction, and are crafted to closely mimic the look and feel of natural teeth
Partial dentures are made for individuals who still have some remaining natural teeth. These dentures consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-coloured base, often held in place by clasps that fit onto your remaining teeth.

Whether you have missing teeth caused by injury, infection, decay, or more, the impact on your smile and confidence can be significant. Facial structure changes and not being able to speak or chew properly can be caused by missing teeth, ultimately affecting your quality of life. This is where dentures can come into play. While dentures are artificial, they are designed to look natural and fit comfortably – they can be customized to match the colour and shape of any existing teeth, ensuring a seamless blend with your smile and providing an effective way to replace your missing teeth.

Teeth play a crucial role in forming sounds and speaking clearly. Gaps created by missing teeth can affect speech, making it difficult to pronounce certain words. Dentures fill these gaps, improving speech clarity and allowing you to communicate more easily and confidently.
Teeth help support the muscles and structure of the face. When teeth are missing, facial muscles can begin to sag, leading to a sunken appearance. Dentures provide support to the facial muscles, helping maintain a more natural facial structure.
When teeth are missing, the surrounding natural teeth may begin to shift into the empty spaces. This can lead to misalignment and other dental issues, ultimately affecting your oral health. Partial dentures help prevent neighbouring teeth from moving out of place, keeping the alignment of your remaining teeth stable.
It is very easy to maintain and care for your dentures. Daily cleaning typically involves brushing them with a soft toothbrush and soaking them in a denture cleaner. This straightforward routine helps keep dentures fresh, clean, and comfortable for everyday wear.
Dentures can be combined with other restorative treatments such as dental implants for added stability. Implant-supported dentures offer the security of implants, allowing patients to benefit from both treatments in one.
