Dentures are a removable dental appliance for missing teeth. There are two types of dentures available—complete and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when all the upper teeth or all the lower teeth are missing, whereas a partial denture can be used when some natural teeth remain. Reasons for dentures include:

  • To completely replace missing teeth in an arch
  • To replace some missing teeth in an arch
  • To enhance the smile and provide facial support
  • To restore chewing and speech
