Dentures are prosthetic appliances used to replace missing teeth and are supported by the surrounding soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity. There are two types of dentures: conventional dentures and implant dentures. Traditional dentures are removable, while implant dentures are fixed. Both types of dentures help with speech and chewing and add support to your lips and chin. They also improve the appearance of your smile. Partial dentures replace one tooth or several teeth, while full dentures replace the whole set of teeth, either upper or lower. Implant dentures are a recent development in dental technology that allows patients to get dentures that are fixed to the jaw line through dental implants. If you are considering getting dentures, talk to your dentist about which type is right for you.
