Dentures in Modesto CA
A denture is a prosthetic device that acts as a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Dentures help patients with missing teeth to improve their speaking, chew food, and improve facial aesthetics. If you have one or several missing teeth, the gap can lead to a sunken appearance to the lower face. This malfunction can affect the aesthetics of your face and can be corrected or prevented by replacing the teeth with dentures.
There are two types of dentures available -- complete and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used if all the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used if some natural teeth remain.
Dentures are made to naturally replicate the gum tissue while giving the proper structure and support for lips, cheeks, and face. Dentures for aesthetic purposes can be custom made to provide the best fit and match your teeth's color, shape, and size. It can be adjusted based on each individual's age, gender, and unique facial qualities.
