What are Dentures?

Dentures are removable false teeth that fit over the gums to replace missing teeth and eliminate potential problems caused by gaps.

There are two types of Dentures:

  • Complete Dentures replace all your upper and lower teeth
  • Partial Dentures replace specific missing teeth

What to Expect

Your dentist will take measurements and create a mould of your mouth

Soon after that, you will recieve your dentures based off of those measurments and moulds
