Dentures
Having gaps and missing teeth, can create a number of daily challenges affecting your confidence, restricting your diet and altering your speech. Dentures can provide an effective solution to replace one or more missing teeth on either your upper or lower jaw. Dentures can be made of either an acrylic or chrome base and composite teeth. They will also be colour matched so that they are indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
Dentures are made over 4 or 5 appointments, spaced a week to 10 days apart. The dentist will take impressions of your teeth, which will be sent to the laboratory technician to allow them to craft your custom-made dentures, designed to specifically meet your needs. The dentures will be checked at every stage to ensure that they fit, look aesthetically pleasing and allow a proper bite.

Dentures shatter your self-doubts – dentures will not only improve your appearance but will make you feel much more confident about yourself as well.
Dentures free you from dietary restrictions – with all your teeth present you will be able to enjoy a full and varied diet, with no food off limits.
Dentures improve your speech – you will no longer have to worry as everyone will be able to understand what you are saying.
Dentures are long lasting – although over time dentures will need to be replaced, they normally have a lifespan of between 5 and 10 years.
