Full Dentures (F/F Dentures)
What are Full Dentures?
Full dentures, also known as F/F (Full/Full) dentures, are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace all the natural teeth in either the upper or lower jaw, or both. They are custom-made to fit your mouth, aiming to restore your smile and confidence.
Why Might You Need Full Dentures?
Full dentures are an excellent solution for individuals who have lost all their natural teeth due to various reasons:

- Improved Oral Function: Restores the ability to chew, speak, and smile comfortably.
- Aesthetic Enhancement: Offers a natural-looking solution that boosts confidence.
- Support for Facial Muscles: Helps maintain the structure of the face and prevents the sunken appearance that can result from tooth loss.
