Dentures in Singapore
Replace missing teeth with comfortable removable dentures at Best Smile Dental. Dentures can help restore chewing, speech, facial support and smile appearance for patients with several missing teeth or a full arch of missing teeth.
What Is Dentures?
Dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace missing teeth. They are custom made to fit your mouth and help support daily functions such as chewing, speaking and smiling.
Dentures can be partial or complete, depending on how many teeth are missing. A partial denture replaces some missing teeth while keeping your remaining natural teeth. A complete denture replaces all teeth in the upper or lower arch.
At Best Smile Dental, our dentist will examine your teeth, gums and bite before recommending the most suitable denture option for your condition, comfort and budget.
