Dentures are removable appliances used to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They restore oral function, support facial muscles, and improve the appearance of your smile. Designed to fit comfortably in your mouth, dentures are customized to match your natural teeth and gum color, offering both aesthetic and functional benefits.
Dentures are prosthetic devices made from acrylic resin, sometimes combined with metal. They are crafted to replace missing teeth and can be full (complete) or partial, depending on how many teeth are missing.
