What are Dentures?
Dentures are prosthetic teeth and gums that are moulded to custom fit the shape of your mouth in order to replace the missing teeth of one or both jaws. Dentures can either be full or partial. Full dentures are used when all the teeth on either the upper or lower jaw need to be replaced. In contrast, partial dentures are used when just a few teeth are missing.
