Missing or Damaged Teeth  
 

Dentures
Dentures often improve your smile and help fill out the appearance of your face and profile. Dentures can be made to closely match your natural teeth. Today, high quality dentures are very comfortable. A complete denture, also called a full denture, replaces all the natural teeth and provides support for cheeks and lips.

Without this support, sagging facial muscles can make a person appear older. Several types of partial dentures are also available.

Dentures are made to fit precisely and usually do not require use of an adhesive. If your dentures begins to feel loose, or cause pronounced discomfort, see your dentist immediately. In an emergency, denture adhesives can be used until you see the dentist, but prolonged use can mask infections and cause bone loss in the jaw.

See your dentist if your dentures break, crack, chip, or if one of the teeth becomes loose. Serious problems can occur if your dentures are not repaired properly. A dentist can often adjust or repair your dentures the same day. Do not attempt to repair yourself. Glue sold over the counter often contains harmful chemicals and should not be used on dentures.
