DENTURES
Where tooth loss is quite extensive dentures are often the only way of providing replacement teeth. For full dentures this practice always uses the highest quality acrylic and the utmost care and attention in design and construction to ensure attractive, long lasting and well functioning teeth.

Partial dentures are provided where some natural teeth are still present in the mouth. The best type of partial denture is a chrome denture. This type of denture has a metal framework that attaches the denture to the remaining teeth and provides a strong and comfortable denture. A chrome based denture is much better for the survival of the remaining teeth than an all plastic partial denture.
Chrome dentures are more expensive than acrylic dentures but as they last longer and preserve the natural teeth they are usually the better choice for value for money.

After teeth have been extracted the gum takes up to 6 months to heal completely. Though dentures are often provided immediately after extractions as a temporary measure the new permanent denture should be made 6 months after the extractions.
