| Dentures are removable appliances that are used to replace missing teeth. Normally they are made of acrylic resin but can also be incorporated into metal or porcelain for additional structural support. There are two main types of dentures: Complete/Full Dentures and Partial Dentures. Full dentures are used to replace the upper and lower arches while no teeth remain.
Dentures aid patients in chewing food, smiling, swallowing, restoring esthetics, supporting facial soft tissues, cheeks and lips. It also helps to reestablish the vertical dimension of the patient's bite which is the distance between the chin and nose. In addition dentures rid you of pronunciation problems caused by missing teeth.
