What Exactly Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable tooth replacements intended to replace absent teeth and the underlying oral structures.

Full dentures replace an complete set of teeth — either the upper jaw, the bottom arch, or both arches. Targeted dentures address selective tooth loss when a portion of your natural teeth still remain.

Full dentures rely on the fit between the base and gum ridge along with additional denture adhesive for extra stability. Partial dentures employ precision-fit clasps or attachments that fasten onto your adjacent healthy teeth to provide stability while speaking.

This approach greatly reduces slipping and supports more confident chewing than traditional dentures. Our team will assess your specific circumstances to identify the best type of dentures for you.
