Full & Partial Dentures
Eat, speak and smile with confidence again.
Modern dentures are custom-designed for comfort and appearance, and can be stabilized with implants.
What is full & partial denture?
Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth. Full dentures replace all teeth in an arch; partials fill gaps among remaining teeth. They restore chewing, speech and facial support. Their main limitation: they can loosen as the jaw changes and may need relines.
