A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues.  There two types of dentures available – Partial and complete dentures.  Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain, while complete dentures are used to completely replace all teeth.  Dentures are made to resemble your natural teeth.  In fact, dentures may even improve your smile.  The restoration method is used to restore your smile and ability to chew and function if all or many of your teeth have been lost.  Complete dentures are removable and may require adjustments in order to create a proper fit with the gums and mouth.

A removable partial denture is a device used when one or more natural teeth still remain in the upper or lower jaw.  They usually consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored plastic base which is held in place in the mouth.

New dentures may feel awkward or loose for the first few weeks until the muscles of your cheek and tongue learn to keep them in place and you are comfortable eating and speaking.  Although this may require some practice you will enjoy the benefits a full mouth of teeth can provide.
