A denture is a replacement for missing teeth and the tissues connected to those teeth.

It is made to fit comfortably and to look just like your natural gum tissue and teeth. Complete dentures take the place of all of your teeth, whereas partial dentures are made to fill the gap if you only want to replace missing teeth. Dentures and partials are not just for patients of advanced age—they are for any patient of any age who have lost some, or all, of their teeth.
