What Is Dentures ?


Dentures are removable appliances used to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They restore oral function, support facial muscles, and improve the appearance of your smile. Designed to fit comfortably in your mouth, dentures are customized to match your natural teeth and gum color, offering both aesthetic and functional benefits.

Dentures are prosthetic devices made from acrylic resin, sometimes combined with metal. They are crafted to replace missing teeth and can be full (complete) or partial, depending on how many teeth are missing.

  • Complete Dentures Used when all teeth are missing in the upper or lower arch.
  • Partial Dentures Used when some natural teeth remain, with artificial teeth attached to a gum-colored base and metal framework for support.

Who Needs Dentures?



You may need dentures if you:

  • Have lost several or all of your teeth due to decay, injury, or gum disease
  • Experience difficulty chewing or speaking due to missing teeth
  • Want an affordable solution for tooth replacement
  • Need facial support to prevent sagging caused by tooth loss

Trial Fitting

A trial denture is created and adjusted for comfort, bite, and aesthetics.
