Dentures are not a replacement for natural teeth, but rather a replacement for no teeth. A denture is a prosthetic device. Just as any prosthesis, such as an artificial arm or leg, there are some limitations, and one cannot expect to function exactly the same as they did originally. While we do our best to offer you a perfect fitting denture, we depend on our patients to see us for regular checkups to ensure them a proper fit.
