 Dentures, or, more accurately, removable
complete dentures are full-mouth false teeth,
which are used when a patient has no teeth left on either
the mandibular arch, the maxillary
arch, or both.
Dentures are false teeth made to replace teeth you have lost. Dentures can be complete or partial. Complete dentures cover your entire upper or lower jaw. Partials replace one or a few teeth.
Advances in dentistry have made many improvements in dentures. They are more natural looking and comfortable than they used to be.
Patients can become entirely
edentulous (without teeth) either due to ineffective
oral hygiene or trauma. Removable complete dentures,
can help give the edentulous patient better masticatory
(chewing) abilities, as well as enhance the esthetic
appeal of their lips in specific and their
entire face in general.
