Dentures are removable appliances that replace missing teeth and surrounding tissue, available as complete or partial sets depending on the patient’s needs.
Complete dentures replace all teeth in an arch, while partial dentures fill in gaps left by some missing teeth. They help prevent remaining teeth from shifting and support facial structure. Dentures can be conventional, made after gums have healed from tooth removal, or immediate, placed right after tooth extraction. The process of getting dentures typically involves multiple appointments to ensure a proper fit and natural appearance. Care instructions are provided to help maintain the dentures’ longevity and function.
