Losing your tooth can be socially embarrassing, particularly when it is the front tooth; you don’t need to worry though as we can easily replace your lost tooth/teeth by making denture which are artificial substitute for the lost tissue. If you have lost all the teeth we will make full dentures that will replace the lost teeth and improve your appearance tremendously and help you chew your food and talk properly. Normally when teeth are lost some of the bone supporting the teeth resorbs and the cheeks suck in, so your dentures not only replace the lost teeth they are made to support the bone and soft tissue so that your former composures is restored.

Our dentures are made with highest technical proficient to enable them function properly and give you the comfort you desire. It is important to know that there are two types of dentures (i) partial denture and (ii) complete or full denture. Dentures have different parts (a) saddle – base (b) connector and (c) retainers. The saddle or base bears the teeth and covers the edentulous areas of the jaw it is either made of acrylic material or metal. Partial denture replaces few missing teeth while complete dentures replace the whole mouth. Denture can be either immediate or conventional. A conventional full denture or partial denture is made and placed in your mouth after completely healing has taken place which took a minimum of 4- 8 weeks depending on your health. Whereas immediate complete or partial denture is inserted into your mouth as soon as the tooth or teeth are removed.

With immediate dentures, you do not have to be without teeth during the healing period, however you have to know that, bones and gums shrink over time during the period of healing and in the first six months after the removal of tooth/teeth the immediate dentures will require rebasing or relining to fit properly as it become loose due to the healing shrinkage. We always advice our patient to make the conventional denture once the tissues have healed completely approximately 4 - 8 weeks after the extraction. Dentures are usually the least costly compare to bridges or implants.

Once you have made your dentures you need to maintain them and care for them by cleaning and wash with soap every day and during the night or when sleeping put them in glass or jar of water, always brush them daily with normal tooth paste to prevent build up of plaque and tartar. Call on us today if you have any problem with your denture or you have lost some of your teeth and you need to replace them.
