Dentures
What Are Dentures?
At Androscoggin Valley Dental, we are happy to offer dentures, which are removable oral appliances designed to replace missing teeth and the surrounding tissues. Dentures are composed of artificial teeth set on a supportive base that fits securely over the gums. Our team at Androscoggin Valley Dental understands the impact of missing teeth on oral function, aesthetics, and overall confidence. That’s why we provide custom-made dentures that are tailored to each patient’s unique needs. With precise measurements and expert craftsmanship, we ensure that our dentures provide a comfortable fit and a natural-looking appearance. Not only do dentures restore the ability to bite, chew, and speak properly, but they also help to improve facial aesthetics, giving you a more youthful and confident smile. With our personalized care and attention to detail, we strive to provide durable and aesthetically pleasing dentures that significantly enhance your oral function, restore your smile, and improve your quality of life.
