Dentures

Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth. They use suction (between gums & denture) and friction (between denture & teeth) for retention.

Partial dentures replace one or a few teeth. Full dentures replace all existing teeth. Dentures can be entirely made of plastic (acrylic dentures) or a combination of acrylic & metal (chrome cobalt which is a special alloy). Metal reinforced dentures (chrome cobalt denture) are more robust, less bulky & can be more comfortable.

Flexible dentures have gum coloured clasps ,are very comfortable and highly aesthetic.
