Not only do teeth allow you to chew properly, they aid in speech and fill out your face by supporting cheeks and lips. A full set of teeth improve quality of life and self-confidence. If your smile is missing one or more teeth, Dr. Layton will recommend the appropriate option: bridge, partial, or denture.
Dentures are artificial teeth set on a gum-colored base, customized to fit your mouth. Full dentures can replace all teeth on the top and/or bottom jaw. A partial denture is made of artificial teeth on a custom-made, gum-colored base, but the replacement teeth fit like a puzzle with existing teeth. Partial dentures are secured with clasps, while full dentures stay in place with adhesive. With a new denture, you'll reclaim the joy of a full set of teeth – for eating, speaking, and smiling.
