Dentures, also known as false teeth, are popular prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth. They are a viable solution for people who have lost their teeth due to injury, gum disease, or decay. Dentures can be fashioned to closely resemble your natural teeth, thus preventing changes in appearance and helping maintain facial structure. Dentures can immediately enhance your smile, ability to chew, and speech impacted by tooth loss.
There are two types of dentures, either complete or partial. A complete denture is used when all teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when natural teeth remain. Dentures can last many years with regular care and dental visits.

Dentures are primarily made of acrylic resin, porcelain, and sometimes metal. Artificial teeth are often acrylic or porcelain, with acrylic being cost-effective and wear-resistant, and porcelain appearing more natural. The base, which simulates gum tissue, is typically a flexible polymer or acrylic. For partial dentures, a metal framework is often used. Material choice depends on factors such as the position of missing teeth, comfort, and cost.
