What are full dentures?
Full dentures are a complete set of artificial teeth for both your upper and lower jaw, used when all natural teeth have been removed or lost. They rest on the gums and can be removed for cleaning and sleeping. Full dentures are carefully crafted to match your natural gum color and the shape of your mouth, ensuring a comfortable fit and a natural appearance. Our team at Westhill Dental works closely with you to select the shape and color of the teeth for your dentures, ensuring they complement your facial features and enhance your smile.

What are partial dentures?
Partial dentures are used when a person has one or more natural teeth in the upper or lower jaw. These dentures fill in the gaps created by missing teeth and prevent the other teeth from changing their position. Typically, partial dentures are made from a combination of metal and acrylic, which makes them both strong and realistic in appearance. They are attached to your natural teeth with metal clasps or precision attachments that are more aesthetic and comfortable. Partial dentures are an effective solution for improving chewing and speech and help maintain the alignment of your remaining teeth.
