There are two types of dentures: full and partial.
If you are missing all of your natural teeth, you may be a candidate for full dentures. Full dentures are designed to replace your entire upper or lower arch of teeth. They are typically made of acrylic and fit snugly over your gums.
If you are missing one or a few teeth, you may be a candidate for partial dentures. Partial dentures fill in the gaps left by one or more missing teeth. They are usually made of metal and plastic, and they attach to your natural teeth with clasps.
Dentures offer a number of benefits, including:
- Improved appearance: Dentures can help restore your smile and give you back the confidence to show your teeth when you laugh, smile, or talk.
- Better chewing: Dentures can help you chew food more effectively, which is important for proper digestion.
- Improved speech: Dentures can help improve your speech by providing support for your lips and cheeks.
- Better oral health: Dentures can help reduce the risk of gum disease and other oral health problems.
- Improved confidence: Dentures can help boost your confidence and self-esteem. This is because they can improve your appearance and give you back your smile.
