What are Dentures?
Dentures are man-made dental impressions used to fill in dental gaps. Dentures are used as an alternative to natural teeth as they restore abilities often lost with dental extractions. For example, if a patient has a tooth removed due to injury or disease, this can result in loss of chewing ability, proper speech, and jawline structure. Denture implants fill in the dental gap with a removable implant, therefore restoring chewing abilities and preserving the jawline structure.
How do Dentures work?
This product reflects your natural teeth in function as well as appearance. Each denture is made with a gum-like material outlining the roof and bottom of your mouth. At the base of the “gums” are tooth colored implants designed to function and appear as natural teeth. Whether you are missing a tooth or several teeth, dentures help you to eat, speak and chew as you would with your own teeth.
