Flat pink dentures are a thing of the past. The hand crafted dentures that our in-house Lab produces are realistic enough to convince even the most discerning onlooker that they are viewing natural teeth and gums. Dr Annette Middelhof background and expertise will ensure that you get new hand crafted dentures that look natural and give a near perfect fit. Most dentists are sending your denture (false teeth) away to be made or repaired but here at Enchanting Dentistry, Dr Annette is personally involved in the making of your dentures from the very beginning.

The loss of your teeth can have a negative effect on your self-confidence, impact on your ability to chew food properly and also leave you with an incorrect bite. Since your teeth provide structure and support to your face and cheeks, tooth loss can result in sagging face cheeks and make you appear much older that you are. Our natural looking dentures greatly improve the quality of a wearer's life.

In some cases, dentures can also be fitted on existing denture implants. Dr Annette Middelhof expertises in dental implants allow her to accurately place dental Implants when an implant-supported denture is needed for instance when a person doesn't have any teeth in the jaw, but has enough bone in the jaw to support implants. An implant-supported denture is a type of denture that is supported by and attached to implants. A regular denture rests on the gums, and is not supported by implants.

What are Dentures?

Dentures are a set of artificial teeth used when a patient has lost real teeth. Patients lose their teeth to a variety of reasons, including:

• severe malnutrition
• genetic defects
• poor oral hygiene
• trauma

Dentures help give better chewing abilities and greater aesthetic appeal by providing the illusion of natural teeth.

The Dentures Procedure

There are several types of dentures available:

• Removable partial dentures are for patients who are missing some but not all of their teeth.
• Fixed partial dentures (also known as permanent bridges) are made from crowns that are fitted on the remaining natural teeth as well as synthetic materials that are sculpted to resemble teeth.
• Complete dentures or full dentures are for patients who are missing all their upper or lower teeth.

Please note that dentures can now be stabilized with an implant procedure bringing more comfort and better chewing abilities to the denture wearer.
