Prosthetics

Prosthetic dentistry involves replacing missing teeth with removable or fixed dentures. There are many reasons for tooth loss, including caries (dental decay), gum disease or trauma. If you have no natural teeth remaining, prosthetic treatment allow for improved speech, appearance, eating and comfort without the dentures being dislodged. With modern technology, dentures have massively improved in comfort, stability and longevity over recent years.

Teeth can be lost for a variety of reasons, including periodontal disease, dental decay or trauma.

If you are edentulous, you have no natural teeth remaining. In this case, prosthetic treatment can be extremely effective in improving speech, eating, comfort and appearance. They can also increase the ease of such activities as shouting, laughing and kissing without the risk of dislodging.

Dentures are either partial or full. If only a small proportion of teeth is lost, partial dentures can provide stability and support, as they can be retained on adjacent natural teeth.

If all the teeth in a dental arch need replacing, complete dentures offer a solution. Dentures will likely take some time to get used to, as with any kind of prosthesis. Our talented team, consisting of a dental technician and dentist, will take time to make sure your dentures fit perfectly to ensure they do not cause irritation or eating problems. Over time, your speech, appearance and confidence will be restored to 100%.
