Complete dentures are designed to replace the teeth in the upper or lower jaw when all the teeth are missing.

Partial dentures are used when there are still teeth present in the upper or lower jaw.


Complete dentures consist of an acrylic base to imitate gum tissue, and the teeth that can be made of acrylic or porcelain. The denture base is made to closely fit the contours of the jaw to ensure the denture is stable during normal oral functions such as eating, speaking, or swallowing.
