Dentures are artificial replacements for your natural teeth and gums. If an accident, disease or poor oral health care has left you with only a few healthy teeth or none at all, your dentist or prosthodontist might suggest dentures to replace your missing teeth.
There are 2 types of dentures: partial and complete. For both types, your dentist or specialist makes a model of your teeth by taking impressions. The models are used to custom-make your dentures.
