Dentures replace missing teeth and restore your smile and chewing. The two main types, complete and partial, suit different situations.
Quick answer
Complete (full) dentures replace all the teeth in an arch when none remain. Partial dentures fill gaps when some natural teeth are still present, clipping onto them for support. Both are removable and affordable. For more stability, either can be upgraded to an implant-supported option.
Complete dentures
- Replace a full upper or lower arch.
- Rest on the gums; removable.
Partial dentures
- Fill gaps among remaining natural teeth.
- Clip onto natural teeth for support.
More stability
For a firmer fit, consider implant-supported dentures. See also flexible dentures.
