Complete Dentures
Dentures are removable oral appliances that replace missing teeth. They rely on your gums and underlying bone for support. You may need to use denture adhesive to keep your appliance firmly in place. They consist of acrylic teeth and gum-colored base. People who wear dentures usually take them out at night to clean them and give their gums a rest.
Partial dentures
If you’re missing several or most of your teeth, partial dentures may be an option. Partial dentures are similar to full dentures, as they also rely on your gums and underlying bone for support. But partial dentures also have special clasps that hook around your remaining natural teeth, providing additional stability.
There is different types of partial dentures such as: Flexible Valplast, acrylic, and cast-metal partials.
Overdentures
Overdentures are a modernized version of regular denturs that anchor and snap on two to four dental implants which makes them more stable and less prone to sliding when patient speak or eat when compared to traditional dentures. However Overdentures are still removable full-arch replacement.
