Dentures are removable appliances that replace missing teeth. They are made of a variety of materials, including acrylic, resin, nylon, metal, and porcelain. Dentures can be either full or partial, depending on how many teeth are missing. Full dentures replace all of the teeth in one jaw, while partial dentures replace some of the teeth in one jaw. Dentures are held in place by suction and by the tissues of the gums and cheeks. They require regular cleaning and care to prevent infection and to keep them in good condition. Dentures can be a great option for people who have lost teeth due to gum disease, tooth decay, or injury. They can help to improve a person’s appearance, speech, and ability to eat.
