Dentures
Missing teeth can have huge impact on your appearance but more importantly, your diet can suffer. Those missing multiple teeth in a row may want to consider dentures for both cosmetic purposes and overall wellness. Depending on the amount of teeth missing, Natalie may suggest partial or full dentures. During your consultation, we’ll assess all your options and you can decide on the treatment you feel most comfortable with.
Partial
Partial dentures are ideal for those who are missing only a few teeth in a row. They utilise the remaining teeth for retention and can be very small if using a cobalt chrome frameowrk option. Even if you only have one tooth on your dental arch, a partial denture may still work best, since the remaining tooth serves as a natural anchor.
Partial dentures can be made of mostly cobalt chrome or just acrylic. Natalie will assess your needs and discuss the options with you to find the best solution for you.
Complete
If you no longer have any teeth, a complete denture is the optimal solution. You can choose the traditional kind that sits on the gum or choose to have dentures that are anchored by dental implants. The latter option has the best retention, but involves surgery. Natalie will discuss all the details so you can make an informed decision.
