Dentures 
Dentures are one type of prosthesis for replacing missing teeth and tissues in the mouth. They are a removable type of prosthetic device allowing restoration of the mouth. Dentures are normally considered to be very uncomfortable and unrealistic in regards to a natural smile. However, dentures have improved over the years to give a more natural look and feel. There are two kinds; full and partial dentures. Depending on your teeth, our staff will evaluate whether all or some of your teeth need replacement.
Why Do You Need Dentures?
Many people lose teeth over their lifetime. Dentures, whether partial or complete, are one option for replacing these missing teeth. Oral health can also be improved through the use of dentures. With a full set of teeth there is proper bite alignment. Dentures will also assist in preventing other teeth from shifting to fill the empty space. Above all, dentures offer you a natural, beautiful looking smile. Besides oral improvement, dentures offer other health benefits. They can aid in preventing sagging of the facial muscles. Dentures will allow you to eat and speak freely, which is more difficult without teeth. The use of dentures allows for restoration of a natural smile. Let us help you be proud of your smile.

What Are The Types of Dentures Are Available?
Normally, dentures are viewed as a complete oral prosthesis. This is sometimes true, but there are different types of dentures. There are complete and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used to restore the entire region of the oral cavity. Complete dentures, also known as ‘full’ dentures, can replace both upper and lower teeth. Partial Dentures are different in that they’re used to bridge gaps in the oral cavity. Usually, younger patients will not consider dentures as an option due to the negative stigma associated with them. However, a partial denture is a great cosmetic option to fill the gaps between teeth. Using flexible, or metal attachments anchored to your teeth, partial dentures replace the missing teeth. They prevent other teeth from shifting, allowing your smile to be restored to its natural beauty.
How Do Dentures Work?
Eley Family Dentistry always strives to provide the best dental care possible. Our office, in Melbourne, exercises our philosophy of keeping the patient at the heart of all procedures. Our staff will examine your oral cavity and take appropriate measurements. Then after a full oral analysis is complete, and molds have been taken, the information will be utilized for a custom made oral prosthetic. A complete denture is a flesh-colored base that is made to form over your gums. The base goes on the roof of your mouth while the other denture is placed to accommodate your tongue. Our staff will determine which denture to give you once you have had an examination.
