A complete or full denture replaces the natural teeth and provides support for cheeks and lips. Without this support, sagging facial muscles can make a person appear older and reduce their ability to eat and speak. <p /> <h2>What are dentures?</h2> A denture is an appliance which is worn to replace lost or missing teeth to enable you to enjoy a healthy diet and smile with confidence. <p /> " A complete or full denture is one that replaces all of the natural teeth in either the upper or lower jaws. <p /> " A partial denture fills in the spaces created by lost or missing teeth and is attached to your natural teeth with metal clasps or devices called precision attachments. <p /> <h2>What are dentures made of?</h2> The base of a denture is called a plate and can be made of either acrylic (plastic) or metal. The teeth are normally made of acrylic and can be made to match your natural teeth. This is especially important in the case of partial dentures. <p /> <h2>Will dentures make me look different?</h2> Dentures can be made to closely resemble your natural teeth so that little change in appearance will be noticeable. Modern dentures may even improve the look of your smile and help fill out the appearance of your face. <br /><br /> </td> </tr> </table> <table width="900" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#000000"> <tr> <td class="mainc"> <br /> <div class="bl"><div class="br"><div class="tl"><div class="tr"> <a href="../index.html" title="Tewkesbury Dental Practice">Home</a> | <a href="../facial-aesthetics.html" title="Facial Aesthetics">Facial Aesthetics</a> | <a href="../dental.html" title="Dental Treatments">Dental Treatments</a> | <a href="../location.html" title="Location">How to find us</a> | <a href="../contactus.html" title="Contact">Contact Us</a> | <a href="../openinghours.html" title="Opening Hours">Opening Hours</a> </div></div></div></div><div class="clear">&nbsp;</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> <br /> 11 Barton Street, Tewkesbury, Glos GL20 5PP | Email: admin@tewkesburydental.co.uk | Tel: (+44) 01684 295900 <br /><a href="../site-map.html" title="Site Map">Site Map</a> | <a href="../links.html" title="Links">Links</a> | <a href="../index.html" title="Tewkesbury Dental Practice">2008 &copy; www.tewkesburydental.co.uk</a> <br /><br /><br /> </td> </tr> </table> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> <!--// init(); //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
