There are two types of dentures: Complete dentures that are used to replace all of the upper and/or lower teeth where there are no teeth remaining; and a partial denture, which is a removable dental appliance that replaces multiple missing teeth. Partial dentures can be attached to the existing teeth with clasps, or with crowns and bridges.

If you are missing teeth, it is very important that you replace them with bridges, dentures, or dental implants. Not only does this maintain a healthy and attractive smile, it also prevents the remaining surrounding teeth from shifting into the empty space. When teeth shift into a missing tooth’s space, this can:

• Damage tissues in the mouth
• Impede your speech
• Increase the risk of tooth decay
• Increase the risk of gum disease
• Increase the risk of further tooth loss

A removable, partial denture will occupy the space left by missing teeth and give you a full, natural looking smile. Both types of dentures will make it easier for you to chew, and will prevent your face from appearing saggy and drawn in by supporting your lips and cheeks.
