Dentures

Dentures are used to replace missing teeth whether from periodontal disease, tooth decay or injury. Two types of dentures are available – complete and partial dentures.  Of course, Dr. Irwin’s goal is to save your natural teeth whenever possible, but sometimes dentures are necessary.  Some of the advantages to dentures are:

  • Greatly improve your chewing ability allowing you to eat a wider variety of foods.
  • Provide a natural facial appearance
  • In certain cases, may also greatly improve the patient’s pronunciation when speaking.
  • Improved self confidence and younger appearance.
  • Flexible partials are also available, with clasps that are not visible.
