Complete dentures are used to replace all of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw. They are made of a pink or gum-coloured plastic base with artificial teeth attached. Partial dentures are used to replace missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw. They are made of a pink or gum-coloured plastic base with artificial teeth attached. They also have metal clasps or attachments that hold the denture in place.
Both complete and partial dentures are removable, meaning you can take them out to clean them and eat sticky foods. Complete dentures are typically used when all of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing. They can be a good option for people who have lost their teeth due to gum disease, tooth decay, or other medical conditions. Partial dentures are typically used when some of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing. They can be a good option for people who want to keep their remaining natural teeth.
