Complete dentures are used to replace missing teeth for people with no remaining teeth.
They may also be used for people who have lost several teeth. In this case, the appliance is
called a partial or overdenture.
Tooth loss may result from periodontal disease (gum disease), tooth decay, or traumatic
injury. It is very important to replace missing teeth. The ill effects of not doing so can be a
shift in remaining teeth, an inability to bite and chew properly, as well as a sagging facial
appearance, which makes one appear older than they are.
The beauty of today’s dentures is that they are designed to be comfortable and functional.
They are very similar in appearance to natural teeth and can improve a smile or facial
appearance.
