Home – Dentures
Dentures are a detachable solution for replacing missing teeth. Most people think of dentures as a replacement for all the teeth, but there are also partial dentures which are a cost-effective option for replacing one or more teeth.
Full dentures use suction or various types of adhesives to remain in position. Alternatively, dental implants can also be placed and connected to the denture with clips or magnets as a more secure method of retention.
When you are missing as few as a single tooth, a partial denture is a cost-effective option. Partial dentures are “clipped” to the remaining adjacent teeth for support.
We recommend that you visit to have your dentures checked on a regular basis. During your regular check-up, let us know if you find there are any changes with your dentures that you can see or feel. We will check your dentures and advise if any modifications are needed.
Dentures which do not fit correctly and go unchecked can cause you serious problems. These include damage to your gums, as well as any remaining teeth, in the case of partial dentures. The latter could even result in the loss of teeth due to unforeseen forces arising from the ill-fitting denture. Regular maintenance of your dentures will avoid these problems.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
