Dentures in Sevenoaks
Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth. They can help restore your ability to eat and speak while also improving the appearance of your smile.
At Sevenoaks Dental & Implant Centre, we provide denture treatment for suitable patients who have lost some or all of their natural teeth. Your dentist will assess your mouth, discuss your needs and explain which type of denture may be appropriate for you.
Every patient has different dental requirements, so your denture will be planned around the number of missing teeth, the condition of your remaining teeth and your individual preferences.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are custom-made dental appliances used to replace missing teeth. Depending on your circumstances, a denture can replace a number of missing teeth or an entire upper or lower set of teeth.
A denture is designed to fit your mouth and provide replacement teeth that complement your natural facial appearance.
It can take some time to become accustomed to a new denture. Your dentist will provide advice about wearing, cleaning and caring for your denture during the adjustment period.
Benefits of Dentures
Replacing missing teeth can provide both functional and aesthetic benefits.
Depending on your individual circumstances, dentures may help to:
- Replace missing teeth
- Improve chewing function
- Support clearer speech
- Restore the appearance of your smile
- Support the appearance of the lips and cheeks
- Improve confidence when smiling and speaking
The benefits and limitations of dentures vary between patients. Your dentist will discuss what you can reasonably expect from your treatment.
