What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable dental prosthetics designed to replace missing teeth and the surrounding tissue. They’re custom-made to fit comfortably in your mouth, providing aesthetic appeal and functional benefits.

 

Types of Dentures

Full Dentures

Full dentures, also known as complete dentures, are designed to replace an entire set of missing teeth. Crafted meticulously to fit your mouth, they provide a natural appearance and restore your ability to eat and speak comfortably.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are an excellent option when you have some natural teeth remaining. They fill in the gaps left by missing teeth, improving your oral health and enhancing your smile’s aesthetics.
