What Are Dentures?
Dentures, commonly referred to as false teeth, are custom-made prosthetic devices designed to replace one or more missing teeth. They are shaped to fit comfortably in the mouth and help restore oral function while supporting surrounding teeth and gums.
Dentures are removable, making them easier to clean and maintain as part of daily oral hygiene.
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures are suitable for patients who have lost all teeth in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. They are designed to sit securely on the gums and restore a full set of teeth.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. They replace missing teeth while helping to stabilise and protect the remaining teeth from shifting.
Your dentist will recommend the most appropriate option based on your oral condition and needs.
