Denture repair

If not looked after properly dentures can unfortunately be damaged and broken. Over a long period of time without any natural teeth, the gums will start to recede and shrink causing your dentures to not fit your mouth correctly, which will also weaken and damage the dentures.

However gum recession can be effectively rectified by dental implants which will securely hold your denture, whilst supporting your jaw bone and promoting healthy gums.
