DENTURES
Why restore your edentulism with Dentures ?:

Elderly individuals with loss of teeth have low self-esteem, declined in psychosocial well-being, low participation in social activities, thus they suffer isolation. It can be minimized by rehabilitation with complete dentures which restores a sense of normalcy and enhances the individual’s ability to interact with others.
