Denture makeover patient undergoes transformation at our Glasgow dental clinic

Denture makeover work is one of our areas of restorative dentistry at the clinic…

Dentures are a well used and traditional means of restoring the spaces resulting from tooth loss and come in many forms – they can be full or complete dentures if all teeth are lost, or partial if only some teeth are lost. Dentures are made from a variety of materials including acrylic and chrome. Dentures are relatively quick to produce, but are a removable solution.

Technology and manufacturing techniques have made great advances and the results for a denture patient can be pretty amazing.

The photo montage shown here features a recent denture case we worked on at our Glasgow dental clinic.

This patient’s denture makeover was completed and in the lower photo we see him smiling with his new upper denture in situ…
