Dentures are removable plates or frames that hold one or more artificial teeth.

They are made to replace missing teeth and can be of two types: – Full Dentures (to replace all teeth) – are required when an individual is missing all their teeth. Full dentures are not fixed into the gums, you take them out and put them in when you need. Most people are comfortable doing this and have worn full dentures for a long time. Remember, if you have dentures that don’t fit well or feel uncomfortable then you may require some changes or a new denture if the existing one is quite old. – Partial Dentures (to replace some teeth) – if implants or a bridge are not suitable to you then you may want to consider a partial denture. Just as with a full denture, these are not fixed into the gums but are removable. They do not entirely rely on your gums for retention, however clasps are used to grasp onto existing teeth. Partial dentures have been used successfully by many patients.
