Complete dentures or partial dentures is one of several solutions for replacing missing teeth. While
dental implants
are gaining in popularity due to their permanent nature, dentures are still widely used and may be a preferable option for certain people.
Complete dentures can include a full set of upper dentures, lower dentures, or both. Complete dentures are an option for replacing all of the teeth in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or the patient’s entire mouth. Complete dentures rest on the gums and are supported by the underlying bone. To maintain a secure and comfortable fit, complete dentures may need to be refitted every few years.
