Dentures

About the Procedure

Dentures are removable prosthetic appliances used to replace missing teeth on either the upper (maxillary) or lower (mandibular) arch. Conventional dentures are removable and are retained by suction. Other designs include retention by clasps or attachments to natural teeth, or by implants.
