Replacing lost or missing teeth has substantial benefits for your health and appearance.
A complete denture replaces the natural teeth and supports cheeks and lips.
Without this support, sagging facial muscles can make a person appear older and reduce their ability to eat and speak.
A dental denture is an appliance worn to replace lost or missing teeth to enable you to enjoy a healthy diet and smile confidently. A complete or full denture replaces all of the natural teeth in either the upper or lower jaws. A partial denture fills the spaces created by lost or missing teeth and is attached to your natural teeth with metal clasps or precision attachments.
The base of a denture is called a plate and can be made of either acrylic (plastic) or metal. The teeth are typically made of acrylic and can be made to match your natural teeth. This is especially important in the case of partial dentures.
