About Dentures
Dentures, or ‘false teeth’ as they are commonly known, are prosthetic dental fixtures that contain rows of unnatural teeth to substitute the original ones that have been lost. The application of dentures to take the place of missing teeth is a common treatment and it’s still an effective solution to tooth loss, especially considering the arrival of more advanced solutions and techniques harnessed in formulating tooth replacements.
