Dentures are removable appliances used to replace missing teeth. A full denture replaces all teeth in an arch, while a partial denture fills spaces when some natural teeth remain. Your dentist can discuss whether a denture, bridge, implant option, or another approach is appropriate.
Dentures may be considered when several teeth or all teeth are missing, when a patient wants a removable replacement option, or when existing dentures no longer fit comfortably. Changes in gums and jawbone can affect fit over time, so new looseness, sore spots, or clicking should be assessed.
The process begins with an examination and discussion of your goals. The team takes impressions or scans, records your bite, and plans the appearance and fit of the appliance. Follow-up visits are used to check fit and make adjustments. The number of appointments depends on the type of denture and your individual treatment plan.
A full denture replaces all teeth in an upper or lower arch. A partial denture replaces some missing teeth while fitting around remaining teeth.
Adjustment is common. The clinic can check the fit and give practical care guidance as you adapt.
In some cases, implants can be used to support a denture. A consultation is needed to determine whether this is appropriate for you.
