Teeth are vital and necessary in our day-to-day life, and once some or many of them are missing it is very difficult for the individual to endure normal eating and speaking situations. A denture, also known as false teeth, is a removable replacement for missing teeth and the tissues connected to those teeth. A denture improves chewing ability and speech, and provides support for facial muscles. It will greatly enhance the facial appearance and smile. When teeth are missing, dentures are often a good way of replacing the missing teeth. You can get complete dentures, which replace all of your teeth, or partial dentures, which replaces some of your teeth. Dentures closely resemble natural gum tissue and teeth and are usually acrylic plastic and sometimes porcelain and metal materials. Complete dentures replace all of the teeth, while partial dentures fill in the spaces created by missing teeth and prevent other teeth from shifting position. The dentures are placed into the cavity of the mouth which is then surrounded by the soft and hard tissue. We can offer the two main types of dentures which are mandibular arch or maxillary arch.
