Although dentures serve to conceal gaps in someone’s smile, they are often a less than perfect fit. Dentures are secured to teeth with a metal framework that is often visible. Find out about bone graft.

If there are not enough existing, original teeth, this can sometimes lead to the dentures not being fitted securely enough. This can lead to movement whilst speaking or eating.

What’s the most affordable procedure?
