What is this treatment?
Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth and surrounding gum tissues. If you have lost all your teeth, complete dentures replace the entire upper or lower set. If you still have some natural teeth remaining, a partial denture clips onto them to fill in the missing gaps. Modern dentures are incredibly lifelike and comfortable.
Why might you need it?
You need dentures if you have lost most or all of your teeth due to age, decay, or injury. Missing all your teeth makes it impossible to eat solid food, changes the shape of your face (making it look sunken), and makes speaking difficult.

🤕Is it painful?
The process of making and fitting dentures is totally painless. However, when you first start wearing them, you may develop minor sore spots on your gums as your mouth adjusts. We easily fix this by slightly reshaping the denture.
⏳Recovery Time
It takes a few weeks to train your mouth muscles to hold the dentures securely and to get used to eating and speaking with them. Patience is key!
