Dentures

What is a Denture?

For patients who are missing multiple teeth, a denture may be a viable option.

A denture is an acrylic appliance that relies on surrounding teeth and soft tissues for retention and resistance. One denture can replace one, few or all teeth at the same time and is usually a most cost effective way of replacing teeth.
