Dentures
Dentures, otherwise known as 'false teeth', are basically a removable plate that has artificial teeth attached to it to fill in the gaps. The plate can be made of plastic (usually gummy pink in colour) or metal and the artificial teeth are either made of plastic or porcelain.
Dentures are used to replace one or more missing teeth, in one or more areas. They are constructed to fit the shape of your mouth and teeth, and are usually held in place by metal clasps or wires hanging onto a few strong supporting teeth. A 'partial' denture replaces some of the teeth, while a 'full' denture is said to replace all teeth. 'Full' dentures are held in place by its close fit to the gums.
Appointment not necessary for people in pain.
