Dentures are removable fixtures that replace the missing teeth in the lower and upper jaw. It is composed of resin, nylon, metal, porcelain or acrylic material. Two of the main types of dentures are full or partial.
Full dentures are a replacement of an entire arch of missing teeth. It is fixed on top of the gums and rely on the roof of the mouth for support. It is traditional dentures that consists of artificial teeth with gum-coloured base to replace the original teeth.
In case there are a few teeth missing in one or both the jaws, then one may opt for partial dentures. It is similar to full dentures and rely on the gums or bone for support. It is differentiated from them through a special clasp that hooks to the remaining natural teeth.

Dentures can restore your confidence and the function of your smile with a long-lasting prosthetic.
