What are dentures?
A denture is a dental appliance used to replace missing teeth. Removable dentures have a pink base made from acrylic resin that resembles gums and natural looking teeth. Dentures offer both medical and cosmetic benefits. They protect your gums and jawbone from damage that can occur after you lose teeth, and they can give you a confident smile. They can also help restore any loss of facial aesthetics caused by sagging or sunken-in facial structure that is common after losing teeth.

Various Types of Dentures
Partial dentures fill in the missing gaps where some teeth are missing. Partial dentures are a good option for those who still have some strong, healthy teeth left. This type of denture is attached to a metal piece that holds and keeps the denture fixed to the neighboring teeth.
Implant Dentures
Implant-supported dentures are either upper or lower dentures that are attached to implants, which in turn are surgically anchored in your jawbone. Implant supported dentures can either be removable for cleaning at night at bedtime or fixed which allow them to function like permanent teeth.
Complete dentures are a set of denture teeth that are attached to an acrylic base and are designed for placement on your gums. Complete dentures are for people who have lost most or all their natural teeth. If any non-functional teeth are still in place, they will need to be removed before receiving full dentures.
Overdentures
An overdenture is a prosthetic that is attached to natural teeth or dental implants instead of resting on the gums like traditional dentures. To receive overdentures, remaining teeth will need to be reshaped, and / or dental implants will need to be placed first. These types of overdentures are also referred to as implant dentures. After healing, overdentures are fitted over the teeth or implants.
