Dentures, the time tested solution for confidence.
At St Edward Street Dental Practice we offer dentures in Leek to suit your needs, thanks to the advancements in technology, dentures are more discreet than ever. Dentures are worn by people of all ages not just the elderly. Although dentures are ideal if you have lost teeth through aging, as they provide the support your facial muscles need, around your cheeks and lips. They help to reduce the appearance of sagging so could this be the solution for you? There are several ways Dentures can help, they can be to replace a single missing tooth or multiple teeth, and could even be to replace all the teeth on a single arch. Dentures provide a great non-permanent solution if you haven’t decided long-term if an implant may be suitable. At St Edward Street Dental Practice we understand that losing teeth can be upsetting, so we try to make the transition as smooth as possible.
Classic Dentures – come in the form of Acrylic and Metal, these are made to fit our mouth and sometimes have attachments to other teeth to help support the fit. They are easy to adapt to and are the most hygienic option.
