Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore your smile's functionality. They come in two types: full dentures, which replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, and partial dentures, which fill gaps when some natural teeth remain. Modern dentures are custom-made to fit comfortably and look natural, making them an effective option for patients seeking to regain chewing ability, speech clarity, and facial aesthetics.

Full dentures rest on the gums, while partial [dentures][1] are secured to surrounding teeth using metal clasps or precision attachments. Both types help prevent remaining teeth from shifting and support the facial muscles, preventing the sunken appearance caused by missing teeth.
