Repairing teeth
Dentures
Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth. A complete denture replaces all teeth in an arch; a partial denture fills gaps between remaining teeth.
What a consultation may cover
- Which teeth are missing or failing
- Complete versus partial options
- Whether implant-supported options are worth discussing
- How your gums and bone look
What to expect
Impressions and measurements are taken, and you may try in a model before the final denture. Adjustments are common as you get used to it.
Things to know
Dentures take time to get used to for speaking and eating, and may need relining or adjusting as your mouth changes.
Questions to ask your dentist
- Would a partial or complete denture suit me?
- How do I care for it?
- What adjustments might I need later?
General information, not medical advice. Your dentist can advise what suits you.
