What Are Dentures

Dentures are removable devices used in place of lost tissue and teeth. It is an artificial tooth that allows the normal functioning of the mouth. They come in two types – full and partial. Full dentures should be opted for when all  teeth are lost and partial dentures when only some of the natural teeth are lost. They are  made specifically for a set of teeth and gum line. Complete Dentures fit over the upper teeth and roof and on the lower teeth placed like a horseshoe. They are conventional dentures and are taken out during the night for cleaning.  Partial Dentures consist of replacing missing teeth attached to artificial gum connected by a metal framework that helps hold the denture in place.
