What Are Dentures?
Dentures consist of a plastic base that is molded & colored to look like your gums. The teeth attached to this base are most often made from a plastic acrylic. The color of both the gums & tooth parts of dentures are customized in order to ensure they look as natural as possible in your mouth. Dentures are false teeth for someone who is missing some or all of their teeth. Depending on how many teeth are missing, dentures can come with a full set of teeth or a partial set meant to fill in gaps between any remaining teeth.
Transformative Effects
Dentures provide transformative effects by replacing missing teeth, restoring oral function, and rejuvenating smiles. They enable individuals to regain confidence, speak clearly, eat comfortably, and enjoy a natural-looking appearance, ultimately enhancing overall quality of life.
