What are Dentures?
Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth and the tissue around them. There are two kinds of dentures: full dentures and partial dentures. Full dentures are for people who have lost all their teeth, while partial dentures are for those who still have some natural teeth.
- Full: Full dentures are used when you need to replace all the teeth in your upper, lower, or both sets of teeth. They sit on your gums and stay in place with natural suction or a special glue.
- Partial: Partial dentures are recommended by our dentist near you to patients who still have some of their natural teeth. They consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base, which is connected by a metal framework that helps keep the dentures in place.
