Dentures in Guelph

Dentures, also known as false teeth, are vital prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and restore oral function. They are custom-made to fit comfortably within your oral cavity, providing support and stability through contact with the surrounding soft and hard tissues in your mouth. Dentures come in different types, with the two main categories being:

1. Complete Dentures: These are used to replace all of the missing teeth in either the upper (maxillary) or lower (mandibular) arch of your mouth. Complete dentures are an excellent solution for individuals who have lost all their teeth in one arch.
2. Partial Dentures: Partial dentures are designed to replace multiple missing teeth when you still have some natural teeth remaining. They anchor onto your remaining teeth for support and function, creating a seamless and functional smile.

Modern dentures are carefully crafted to provide both aesthetic and functional benefits. They allow you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence while also maintaining the structural integrity of your oral cavity.

When considering dentures, it's essential to consult with an experienced dentist like Dr. Jarek Foksa at Downtown Dentistry. They can assess your specific needs, discuss the available options, and create a customized treatment plan to help you regain your oral health and quality of life.
