Dentures are a reliable and affordable solution for patients who have lost multiple teeth or even a full arch. Whether caused by injury, decay or gum disease, tooth loss can significantly impact your ability to eat, speak and smile confidently. Dentures restore both function and appearance, giving you back your quality of life. Our skilled dentist and team offers custom-made dentures to meet your specific needs and preferences.
Types of Dentures
- Full Dentures: These are used when all teeth are missing in the upper or lower arch. They consist of a gum-colored base with artificial teeth and are designed to fit comfortably and securely on the gums.
- Partial Dentures: Partial dentures are ideal when some natural teeth remain. They fill in the gaps left by missing teeth while preventing your remaining teeth from shifting out of position.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: Also known as All-on-4® implants, these fixed dentures are held in place permanently by two sets of dental implants.
Benefits of Dentures
Dentures provide numerous advantages. They improve your ability to chew and speak, restore your facial structure and enhance your smile. With proper care, dentures are durable and can last for many years. Dr. Franklyn Aguebor and his team will ensure your dentures fit comfortably and function properly, giving you the confidence to enjoy life again.
