Dentures are removable oral appliances that replace missing teeth. There are many types of dentures,
including full, partial and implant-supported dentures. With proper care and maintenance, the average lifespan
of a denture is seven to 10 years.

Types of Dentures
There are many different types of dentures. The option that’s right for you depends on your unique oral health needs.

  • Full dentures:

    Also called a complete denture, this appliance replaces an entire arch of missing teeth. A full denture rests atop your gums and relies on your palate (the roof of your mouth) or lower jawbone ridge for support. You may need to use denture adhesive (a special type of glue) to keep your appliance firmly in place. Full dentures are likely what comes to mind when you think about traditional dentures. They consist of artificial teeth and a gum-colored base. People who wear dentures usually take them out at night to clean them and give their gums a rest.
