A denture is a removable appliance to replace missing teeth and tissue. There are two types of dentures, complete and partial.

Complete Dentures are a set of teeth that are made to replace all the teeth of the top or bottom jaw (sometimes both). Full Dentures are commonly referred to as false teeth and are generally made from acrylic plastic.

Partial Denture is a removable appliance, usually used to replace a few missing teeth in either upper or lower jaws. It can be made from acrylic plastic or metal framework. You can discuss about the type of denture that suits you best with our dentist.
