Denures Treatment
Dentures are a reliable way to replace missing teeth and restore your ability to eat, speak and smile with confidence. They’re custom-made to fit your mouth comfortably and can replace a few missing teeth or a full set. Modern dentures are lighter, more natural-looking and designed to sit securely so you can go about your day without worry.
They also support the facial muscles, which helps maintain a natural face shape after tooth loss. With regular cleaning and routine dental checks, dentures can last for many years. Your dentist will guide you on how to care for them and make any adjustments needed to keep them fitting well.
