Dentures are used when all natural teeth have been lost due to injury or disease. Dentures are necessary to allow you to eat and speak and provides support for your facial muscles.

Partial dentures are used when some but not all teeth have been lost. Dr. Costa offers her patients the Valplast Partial denture which is flexible and does not have the metal clasps found with traditional partial dentures. The photo on the left shows the Valplast partial denture.
