Dentures
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are custom made, removable appliances, that replace the spaces within your mouth. They can be an ideal solution as an interim measure, or as a permanent solution.
Modern dentures can be made of a flexible material, allowing them to “click” into place. Unlike older designs of dentures, they have tooth coloured clasps making them very discreet.
Dentures can also be held securely in place on dental implants, allowing multiple teeth to be replaced with fewer implants.
