What are Dentures?
Dentures are an affordable, convenient option for replacing multiple missing teeth. A denture is a removable oral appliance made up of prosthetic (artificial) teeth placed into a gum-colored base. A complete denture, which is sometimes called a full denture, is used to replace all of the teeth in a full dental arch. Based on your needs, a complete denture can be worn in the upper arch, lower arch, or both arches. The denture is held in by suction, although our dentist may recommend a denture adhesive to improve the stability of your appliance.
What are Partial Dentures?
A partial denture is used to replace missing teeth when some natural teeth are still left. The partial denture often includes a thin framework or clasps that attach to the neighboring teeth for stability.
Do I Need Dentures?
Dr. Michael Sanchez may recommend dentures if you are interested in a tooth replacement option that is noninvasive, removable, and affordable. When in place, your dentures can restore your facial shape and volume, as well as improve your ability to chew, speak, and eat properly.
