A complete denture is a removable appliance used when all teeth within a jaw have been lost and need to be prosthetically replaced. A complete denture can be opposed by natural dentition, a partial or complete denture, fixed appliances or, sometimes, soft tissues.
Partial dentures are usually removable dentures that replace multiple teeth in the upper or lower portion of your mouth. Partial dentures are more than cosmetic devices. They can also enhance chewing and speaking for the wearer. Partial dentures can also preserve the placement of the remaining teeth in your mouth, which may otherwise shift over time.Partial dentures aren’t usually intended for around-the-clock wear.
