Types of Dentures

The type of denture required is dependent on number of remaining natural teeth and individual needs. Dentures may be made from acrylic resin or have metal based framework. There are several types of dentures:

	Complete dentures Complete dentures cover the entire jaw and can be used in place of your upper teeth, lower teeth or both. Complete dentures consist of artificial teeth and gums. Complete dentures rest directly on gums and are used for cases with no remaining natural teeth.

	Partial dentures Partial dentures fit around remaining, healthy adjacent teeth. Partial dentures usually have artificial teeth and gum and are usually held in place by clasps that attach to natural teeth. Partial dentures may have a framework made with acrylic resin or metal materials.

	Overdentures Overdentures fit over dental implants. Titanium dental implants acts as anchor support and give the denture stability making the overdentures less likely to shift in mouth.
