Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth. They are prosthetic devices, often made of acrylic, resin, nylon, or metal, that fit over your gums and replace one or more missing teeth. Dentures can be full (replacing all teeth in the upper or lower jaw) or partial (replacing only some teeth).
Complete (Full) Dentures: These replace all of the missing teeth in either the upper or lower jaw.
Partial Dentures: These are designed to replace only some missing teeth, often with a metal framework that clips onto remaining natural teeth.
Dentures are typically made of acrylic (a type of plastic), nylon, or metal. The teeth themselves can be made of acrylic, porcelain, or composite resin.
Dentures can improve the appearance of your smile. They can restore your confidence when eating and speaking, and also prevent any remaining teeth from moving.
