Dentures

At Smile Solutions Dental, we understand the impact of missing teeth on your daily life. Dentures are a popular and effective solution to restore your smile, confidence, and oral function. This page provides an overview of dentures, their types, benefits, and what to expect when considering them as a tooth replacement option.

What Are Dentures ?

Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissue. They are custom-made to fit comfortably and securely in your mouth, providing both aesthetic and functional benefits. Dentures can be a full set, replacing all teeth, or a partial set for a few missing teeth.

Types of Dentures :

Full Dentures : Full dentures are used when all teeth in an arch (upper or lower) are missing. They consist of a complete set of artificial teeth attached to a pink, gum-colored acrylic base. Full dentures are secured in place with the help of natural suction, denture adhesives, or dental implants.

Partial Dentures : Partial dentures are utilized when some natural teeth remain. They are customized to fit among your existing teeth and are held in place with metal or acrylic clasps.
