Complete dentures

Full dentures are still a good option for a significant group of patients. It is an affordable solution for those who have lost not only all teeth, but also bony mass which once acted as a support for lips and cheeks.

Lack of teeth leads to progressive loss of maxillary and mandibular bone, and this gives an aged look to the patient’s face, independently of his or her age.



Patients unable to afford a complete rehabilitation with implants can benefit of highly aesthetic complete dentures. Designed with functional as well as aesthetic criteria, they can recover the vitality and freshness of the facial expression. The complete denture must be designed in accordance with the facial characteristics of each particular patient.

And who can say, once all functional and aesthetic criteria taken into account, that the user of a complete denture hasn’t a wonderful smile?
