Dentures are a removable alternative to other methods to replace missing teeth, such as implants and bridges.  There are many different types of dentures, including partial dentures, complete or full dentures, and immediate dentures.​

 

Complete Dentures

​Complete or full dentures replace all missing teeth. It is usually made from acrylic. ​

 

Partial dentures​

A partial denture might be what you need if you have some of your natural teeth remaining, whereas a complete denture will replace all of your teeth in the upper or lower jaw.  They can be made completely of acrylic or with a cobalt-chrome metal base.

 

​Immediate Dentures​

If you require a tooth to be extracted before replacing it, you can opt for an immediate denture. This type of denture is constructed before you have your tooth removed and is fitted on the same day immediately after your tooth is taken out. This means that you are not left without a tooth, and it can aid in the healing process of your gums.
