Dentures
Dentures are removeable appliances made from acrylic or chrome. Custom made to fit over the gums to replace missing teeth and eliminate potential problems caused by gaps.
Dentures are not always a patient’s first choice these days, for a more comfortable long term solution, our friendly practice has a passion to focus on Implants (link on word implants to implant dentistry page) as a replacement for one or multiple missing teeth. Looking after you from start to finish your Implant journey, with Dr Will Murphy, with over 25 year’s experience, please call us to book an implant consultation.
Bridges
A dental bridge is a fixed (non-removable) appliance and is an excellent way to replace missing teeth.
There are several types of bridges. You and your dentist will discuss the best options for your particular case. We offer fixed unit and Maryland bridges depending on you need.
Fixed Bridges: Dental bridges are highly durable as we use a very skilled laboratory and will last many years, however they may need replacement or need to be re-cemented due to normal wear.
Reasons for a fixed bridge
- Fill space of missing teeth
- Maintain facial shape
- Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position
- Restore chewing and speaking ability
- Restore your smile
- Upgrade from a removable partial denture to a permanent dental appliance
