Dentures

Dentures are like removable fake teeth for people with missing teeth. There are full and partial dentures. 

Two types of full dentures: 

• Conventional Full Dentures: Teeth are removed, gums heal, and dentures are placed. It takes a few months, so you're without teeth during healing. 
• Immediate Full Dentures: Measurements and dentures are made before teeth are removed. Dentures go in right after teeth are out, but you'll need adjustments later as your jaw heals. 

Partial dentures are like a removable bridge for some missing teeth. 

Care for them like real teeth—brush, soak in water or cleaning solution, and don't use hot water. If they feel off, let your dentist fix them, and be gentle to avoid dropping or messing them up.
