Dentures are a replacement for a missing tooth. They can be easily placed in and out of your mouth, as and when required. There are mainly two types of dentures: full and partial. Your dentist will help you choose the type of denture that's best for you.
Dentures can be made from a variety of materials and contain as many teeth as are missing in either jaw. Once all teeth are lost in either mandibular (lower) or maxillary (upper) jaws, a complete full denture would be required.
