It's critical to both your oral health and overall physical health to replace missing teeth as soon as possible. You can rely on our Halifax dentists for your dental health needs, including restoring missing teeth with natural-looking dentures.
What are dentures?
Replacing missing teeth is extremely important to your oral health. When you replace missing teeth, not only will you be able to eat and speak properly, you'll maintain your natural facial structure. Dentures are a cost-effective option to replace any missing natural teeth.
Dentures - artificial teeth - can replace a single missing tooth, a row of teeth (known as partial dentures), or an entire jaw (full dentures). The two types of dentures include conventional and immediate.
Conventional Dentures
When teeth are extracted, your dentist will wait until your gum tissue has fully healed before fitting your dentures. This process usually takes between 4 to 6 weeks.
Immediate Dentures
Immediate dentures will be constructed in advance of your tooth extraction and will be placed immediately after the extraction procedure. Any adjustments needed will be made once your gum tissue has healed.
