WHAT IS A DENTURE?

Denture is basically false teeth, used to replace missing tooth or teeth in the mouth. It uses our soft tissues, bones and teeth as support, so that dentures doesn’t fall out.

– Uses patients soft tissue, bone or teeth as support

Types of Denture Base

● Acrylic
– Is a type of plastic material
– Affordable type of denture, a pink plastic denture base in brittle.

Advantages: Can be repaired, Cheaper

● Flexible / Valplast
– Made from a flexible plastic (nylon), which fits neatly in the mouth
– The base fits your mouth more nicely because of its flexibility. Thus can be fabricated thinner than acrylic dentures and less prone to breakage.

Advantages:

The dentures can feel more natural, more fitting and less bulky in the mouth

● Cobalt Chrome/Metal

– This type of denture is particularly ideal for patients who may often damage their acrylic denture.

  I recently had an appointment at Smileway Dental Clinic to address a persistent dental issue that had been causing me considerable discomfort.

From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere of the clinic was warm and welcoming, which helped to alleviate some of my anxiety. Dr. Lisa took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly explain the procedure to me, which helped to alleviate my fears. Her calming demeanour and gentle approach immediately put me at ease.

The surgery itself was surprisingly painless, thanks to Dr. Lisa's expertise and skillful technique. She was incredibly patient and attentive throughout the entire procedure, constantly checking in to make sure I was comfortable and pain-free.

Overall, my experience at Smileway Dental Clinic was nothing short of exceptional. Dr. Lisa and her team exceeded my expectations in every way, providing me with top-notch dental care in a compassionate and supportive environment. I highly recommend Smileway Dental Clinic to anyone in need of dental services, especially those who may be anxious or fearful about visiting the dentist.
