Removable tooth replacement
Dentures and partial dentures help restore smiles affected by several or all missing teeth.
Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and support chewing, speech, and appearance. Complete dentures replace all teeth in an arch, while partial dentures replace several missing teeth when some natural teeth remain.
