Overview:

Dentures are custom-made appliances that replace missing teeth and restore function and appearance. Dentists design them to improve chewing, speech, and facial support while boosting patient confidence.

Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch. They rest on the gums and usually use acrylic that looks like natural teeth.

Dentists may recommend partial dentures when some natural teeth remain. These devices include replacement teeth on a gum-colored base. A metal framework with clasps holds them in place for stability.

The process includes impressions, fittings, and adjustments to ensure comfort and function. Patients may need time to adapt, but modern designs offer excellent fit and appearance. With good care and maintenance, both types provide a reliable and cost-effective solution for tooth replacement.
