What are full and partial dentures?

Dentures are removable dental prosthetics designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding gum tissue. They come in two main types:

Full Dentures: Full dentures, also known as complete dentures, are used when all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing. They consist of a custom-made acrylic base that resembles gum tissue and supports a complete set of artificial teeth.

Partial Dentures: Partial dentures are designed to replace one or more missing teeth in the same arch. They typically consist of a metal or acrylic framework that connects to the existing teeth for support, with artificial teeth attached to fill the gaps.

How are dentures made?

The process of creating dentures involves taking precise impressions of your mouth to ensure a comfortable and accurate fit. These impressions are used to create a custom mold, which is then used to fabricate the denture base and artificial teeth. During follow-up appointments, the final dentures are adjusted and refined for optimal fit and function.

Is anyone with missing teeth a candidate for dentures?

Dentures are suitable for patients who have lost multiple teeth due to decay, gum disease, or trauma. Ideal candidates for full dentures should have healthy gum tissue and good bone structure to support the denture, while candidates for partial dentures should have healthy, stable teeth remaining in the affected arch.
