Dentures

 

Missing teeth can affect chewing, speech and can make you feel less confident. One of the simplest and affordable treatment options to restore missing teeth are dentures.

A denture is a removable oral appliance that consists of artificial teeth attaching to a pink or gum-coloured base. There are different types of dentures that are categorised by the type of material used for their construction.

Acrylic dentures – This is the simplest form of denture that utilises white artificial teeth sitting on a pink acrylic base. The pink acrylic allows the denture to blend in with the pink colour of your gum to create a natural look.

Metal Dentures – A metal denture uses a metal alloy (usually Cobalt Chromium) for its base. The metal base features pink acrylic on the side to resemble the gum. Metal dentures are generally tougher and more resistant to fracture compared to acrylic dentures.

Flexible dentures – These non-metallic dentures can flex and bend to fit your mouth as you eat and speak. They are durable, comfortable, and look very natural when you smile because they do not have metal components.
