Dentures
If you have lost some or all of your teeth, then you may require a denture. A denture made of acrylic or metal replaces your natural teeth to give support to your cheeks and lips. It will snugly fit over the gums to replace missing teeth and eliminate potential problems caused by gaps. Without support sagging facial muscles can make a person appear older and reduce their ability to eat and speak. You may feel nervous or anxious about wearing dentures at first, but you can rest assured our team at Horbury Dental Care will help you to create comfortable fitting, natural looking dentures that you can wear with confidence.

Richard has over 32 years’ experience in the dental field and is extremely well liked by his patients. Richard works with his patients and his dental technician to create dentures that are comfortable, well-fitting and that look great.
