Dentures
Acrylic dentures
A denture is an appliance which is worn to replace lost or missing teeth to enable you to enjoy a healthy diet and smile with confidence. A complete or full denture is one which replaces all of the natural teeth in either the upper or lower jaws. A partial denture fills in the spaces created by lost or missing teeth and is attached to your natural teeth with metal clasps or devices called precision attachments.
Cobalt Chrome
Cobalt chrome dentures are partial dentures used to minimize the amount of space your denture takes up. They are designed to utilise metal clasps to keep your denture in place and are supported by your natural teeth for greater comfort and peace of mind.
Valplast Flexible Dentures
Valplast flexible dentures are a comfortable alternative to a cobalt chrome or acrylic denture. These lightweight dentures completely eliminate the need for unsightly metal clasps. Most valplast dentures are fabricated without the use of a metal frame - made instead from a strong, durable plastic that snaps securely and comfortably into place around existing natural teeth and gums. The plastic used is so strong that the denture made from it can be very thin, eliminating that heavy, bulky feel which can make wearing dentures unpleasant. The colour, shape and design of valplast dentures blends in well with the natural appearance of the gums, making the denture virtually invisible.
Implant Supported Dentures
Many people with missing teeth struggle to keep their dentures secure, (particularly in the lower jaw). This can be associated with the embarrassment of slipping dentures, not being able to eat all food types and the ineffectiveness of denture adhesives. Fortunately, with the use of dental implants, we can now stabilise your denture and give you the confidence to wear your denture effectively without embarrassment. Implant supported dentures can restore proper chewing, allowing a better diet and improved health. They can improve speech and improve comfort with less irritation of gum tissue.
