What Are Dentures?
Dentures are realistic replacement teeth that can be taken out. There are two types: full dentures and partial dentures.
- Full Dentures are given to patients who have had all their natural teeth removed. Conventional full dentures are placed after the gums have healed, which can take a few months. Immediate full dentures are placed right after the teeth are removed and may need adjustments in the first few months.
- Partial Dentures are fake teeth attached to an acrylic or metal base that fit in between your natural teeth. They are used to fill in gaps where permanent teeth have been removed. Partial dentures are a removable option to bridges.
