Kingston Dentures Glossary

dentures People that have damaged, badly decayed or missing teeth may feel very uncomfortable and self-conscious about their smile. Damaged or missing teeth may result from periodontal disease, tooth decay, or traumatic injury. Not replacing missing teeth may affect all the remaining teeth, cause an inability to bite and chew properly, and create a sagging facial appearance, which makes one look older.

Dentures can make your life easier. A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. The beauty of dentures is that they are designed to be comfortable and functional. They are very similar in appearance to natural teeth, and can improve a smile and facial appearance.

Two types of dentures are available - complete and partial. Complete dentures are used to replace missing teeth for people with no remaining teeth. Partial dentures are used for people who have lost several teeth and have some remaining natural teeth.

An experienced dentist can design functional and attractive dentures that fit your facial characteristics and are customized for your special needs. Your new dentures will have a rejuvenating effect on your life and will allow you to smile and laugh with confidence.
