What are Dentures?
Dentures serve as a replacement for missing teeth and the surrounding tissues. They are of two types - complete and partial. Complete dentures are advised when all the teeth in the oral cavity are missing, whereas partial dentures are used when some teeth remain.
Dentures are custom made for each patient and help restore the appearance and functions of the oral cavity. They are made to closely resemble your natural teeth so that your appearance does not change much. When all your teeth are lost facial muscles can sag, making you look older. They help fill out the appearance of your face and facial profile.
