Denture Work
Missing teeth can affect far more than your smile, they can make eating and speaking more difficult, change the shape of your face over time, and knock your confidence in everyday situations. Dentures offer a tried-and-tested way to replace missing teeth, restoring both function and appearance with an option that's comfortable, natural-looking and tailored to fit your mouth.
At TFBC, we take the time to get your dentures right, from the initial assessment through to fitting and aftercare,so you leave with a solution that feels secure and looks like you.
What Are Dentures?
A denture is a custom-made, removable appliance designed to replace one or more missing teeth. Made from lifelike resin teeth set into an acrylic or chrome base, modern dentures are built to blend in naturally with your remaining teeth and gums, while restoring the ability to chew comfortably and speak clearly. They also help support the muscles of your face, which can otherwise sag or change shape once teeth are missing.
Types of Dentures
Complete (full) dentures
Used when all the natural teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing, a complete denture replaces the entire arch. It rests directly on the gums, held in place by natural suction and, if needed, a small amount of denture adhesive.
Partial dentures
Where some natural teeth remain, a partial denture fills the gaps left by missing teeth. It's usually held in place with discreet metal or acrylic clasps that attach to the surrounding natural teeth, helping keep everything stable while you eat and speak
