Dentures Treatment in Jaipur – Regain Your Smile
Missing teeth can affect how you eat, speak, and smile. Dentures, commonly known as false teeth, are a trusted, cost-effective solution to restore function and aesthetics. Whether you're missing a few teeth or all of them, we at Soni Dental Hospital, Jaipur, offer customized, high-quality dentures tailored to your needs.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and the surrounding tissues. They help restore normal mouth function, improve facial appearance, and bring back your confidence.
Types of Dentures:
- Complete Dentures – For those who have lost all teeth in one or both jaws.
- Partial Dentures – For patients with some natural teeth still remaining.
- Implant-Supported Dentures – Fixed dentures supported by dental implants for enhanced stability and comfort.
