Information
Dentures are detachable dental devices crafted to replace missing teeth and bring back both function and good looks to your mouth. They come in two main types: upper dentures and bottom dentures. Upper dentures replace the teeth in the upper jaw, fitting snugly against the roof of the mouth, while bottom dentures replace the teeth in the lower jaw and are shaped to fit comfortably around the gums and remaining teeth.
Dentures are usually crafted from acrylic resin (those are acrylic dentures), sometimes combined with metal for added strength (hybrid dentures), can also be just full metal dentures, such as titanium dentures. Dentures are custom-made to fit each individual’s mouth, delivering maximum comfort and proper function.

INFORMATION
These denture teeth are designed for individuals who have lost all their natural teeth in an arch. Complete dentures feature a full set of artificial teeth mounted on an acrylic base that comfortably fits over the gums.
These dentures are usually secured to the existing teeth with special metal clasps. That’s the perfect choice for individuals with some natural teeth remaining.
As the name suggests, these implants are attached to the dental implants, which are surgically placed into the jawbone beforehand. In order to place an implant, patients will have to wait for the healing and integration process to end.
For patients seeking the stability of implants with the flexibility to remove their dentures, this option is ideal. Removable implant dentures offer the strength and security of implant-supported dentures but can be easily taken out as needed.

Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. They can be partial, replacing some teeth, or complete, replacing all teeth in the upper or lower jaw.
The cost of dentures varies based on factors like the type of dentures (partial or complete) and the materials used. Consult your dentist for a personalized estimate.
Dentures generally last several years with proper care, though their lifespan depends on the quality of materials and regular maintenance.
Clean dentures daily with a soft-bristled brush and a denture cleaner. Soak them overnight in a denture solution to maintain their shape. Handle with care to avoid damage and visit your dentist regularly to ensure a proper fit.
