Dentures are artificial teeth and gums that are custom designed for your mouth by a dentist to replace lost or removed natural teeth. They can be full or partial, meaning they can either replace all teeth on either the top or bottom gum line, or just a few that are missing.

Getting dentures can be stressful and can make certain people anxious or embarrassed.  Like natural teeth, dentures are an integral part of our everyday life, they aid us in chewing our food, affect the way we talk, giving us back the confidence we may have lacked in ourselves after past dental problems.

When an accident happens and our dentures break or fracture and we can no longer use them, it can make us feel a little overwhelmed. We need them, just as natural teeth after all, to carry on life as normal. For most denture wearers, broken dentures are cause for an emergency and need to be treated by your Dentist as just that, “An Emergency”.

It is essential to research and find a Dental practise with qualified helpful staff that can offer an express repair  service, very often even allowing you to have your dentures fixed while you wait, so you don’t have to go without them for very long, eliminating any unnecessary embarrassment.
