What Are Full & Partial Dentures?
Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth. They help restore function, improve facial structure, and boost confidence.
Full dentures
Replace an entire arch of missing teeth (upper, lower, or both).
Partial dentures
Replace several missing teeth while preserving remaining healthy teeth.
