Dentures, also known as false teeth, are removable dental appliances that are used to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They are custom-made to fit your mouth and provide a natural-looking smile. Dentures can be a full set, replacing all the teeth in either the upper or lower jaw, or they can be partial dentures, which replace only a few missing teeth and are supported by the remaining natural teeth. Partial dentures consist of artificial teeth attached to a gum-colored plastic base. They are designed to fit snugly and comfortably in your mouth, using clasps or precision attachments to secure them to the neighboring natural teeth. This helps to restore your ability to chew and speak properly while also improving the aesthetics of your smile.
