Full Dentures: Restore Your Smile and Function
Overview
Full dentures are a removable dental appliance designed to replace an entire arch of missing teeth, providing improved function and aesthetics for individuals who have lost all their teeth in the upper or lower jaw. These custom-made dentures restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently. Our expert dental practitioners in Turkey utilize the latest techniques and high-quality materials to ensure a comfortable fit and natural appearance, enhancing your quality of life and self-esteem.
Procedure Options
- Conventional Full Dentures: Created after any remaining teeth are removed and the gums have healed, ensuring a proper fit. This process may take several months.
- Immediate Full Dentures: Placed immediately after tooth extraction, allowing you to have teeth during the healing period. These may require adjustments as the gums and bone heal.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: Combines the benefits of dental implants and dentures by securing a removable denture with implants for better stability and comfort. This option provides enhanced support and prevents dentures from slipping.
