What to know
Dentures, explained.
What it is, how it works and how it helps, in plain words.
Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth and the surrounding gum tissue. Full dentures replace all the teeth in an arch, while partial dentures fill in gaps and attach to your remaining natural teeth.
Your dentist takes impressions and measurements of your mouth and bite, and you'll try in a wax model to check the fit, appearance, and tooth color before the final denture is made. After you receive your dentures, follow-up visits are used to make adjustments as your mouth adapts.
Dentures let you chew a wider variety of foods and speak more clearly. They also support your lips and cheeks, preventing the sunken look that can come with tooth loss.
