Dentures

Dentures are used to replace missing teeth.  They are either called partial or full dentures.  Partial dentures are used to fill spaces left by missing teeth but there are still natural teeth remaining in the mouth.  The natural teeth are used to hold these dentures in place.  They are usually made of a metal base/acrylic combination or acrylic only.

Full dentures are used to replace teeth when all natural teeth are missing and are mainly made of acrylic.
