Understanding Dentures
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth. They help restore your ability to eat and speak more comfortably and improve your overall facial appearance by supporting the structure of your cheeks and lips. There are two main types of dentures:
- Full Dentures: Used when all teeth in the upper or lower jaw need to be replaced. These rest on the gums covering the jawbones.
- Partial Dentures: Used when one or more natural teeth remain. These are held in place by clasps around the existing teeth and can help prevent other teeth from shifting.
