Dentures in Ogden, Utah
Dentures are recommended when someone has lost most or all of their natural teeth due to injury, decay or other oral health concerns. They provide a dependable way to restore both function and appearance, allowing you to eat, speak and smile with confidence.
These prosthetic teeth are attached to a gum-colored base and can be designed to look very natural. Dentures may be supported by dental implants for added stability, but the best option depends on your individual needs and should be discussed during a consultation.
