A denture is worn to replace missing teeth so you can continue to have a full smile. The base of a denture is called a plate and made of either acrylic or metal. The teeth are normally made of acrylic and colored to match your natural teeth. There are 2 types of denture
1. A complete or full denture is one, which replaces all of your natural teeth in either the upper or lower jaw.
2. A partial denture fills the space created by missing teeth and is attached to your natural teeth with metal clasps or devices called precision attachments.
Dentures allow you to chew and speak more easily while improving appearance and boosting your self-confidence.
