Dentures in Melbourne
Dentures are one of the best ways to obtain a beautiful smile at a very low cost. They can be used to treat comprehensive dental concerns, such as replacing single or multiple missing teeth in the mouth.
They are often an interim temporary solution, but can also be a long term replacement for missing teeth if you don’t mind their bulkiness, or if finance is a concern.
What are Dentures?
Dentures are specially designed, removable dental prostheses that have been around for many decades as a replacement option for missing teeth. They are made from acrylic or silicone which is fitted to the shape of the patients’ gums and jaw and acts as a gum-coloured structural base for the artificial teeth which are embedded into it.
These false teeth can sit on your gums without any support, they can have clips that secure over your own remaining teeth, or they can clip onto dental implants for extra anchorage.
Dentures are usually uncomfortable to wear because they are big and bulky, and a lot of people struggle to eat properly while wearing them. For this reason, we recommend dentures as a temporary treatment and suggest patient’s consider dental implants of All on 4 Plus for a more comfortable, permanent solution to replace missing teeth.
