Did you vote in our poll last week? Dentures are not meant to last forever!

Dentures are artificial teeth that can help you eat, speak and smile with confidence. But over time, they can wear out, break or become loose. That’s why it’s important to replace your dentures every 5 to 8 years, or sooner if they cause you discomfort or irritation.

Replacing your dentures can improve your oral health, comfort and appearance. It can also prevent problems like gum disease, bone loss and facial sagging.

So don’t wait any longer! Contact us today on (09) 9722 545 to schedule a consultation and get a new set of dentures that fit you perfectly.
