What is a denture?

A denture is an appliance, which is worn to replace lost or missing teeth to enable you to enjoy a healthy diet and smile with confidence.

A complete or full denture is worn, which replaces all of the natural teeth in either the upper or lower jaw. A partial denture fills in the spaces created by lost or missing teeth and can be attached to your natural teeth with metal clasps or devices called precision attachments. Dentures can be made to closely resemble your natural teeth so that little change in appearance will be noticeable. A well-designed and made denture can have a fantastic effect on your appearance.
