Dentures

Dentures are an artificial, removable replacement for some or all of the natural teeth and adjacent tissues. They are one of the most accessible and affordable solutions to dental problems, particularly when someone has lost teeth due to age, decay, or disease. An estimated more than 40 million Americans wear dentures.
