Dentures are prosthetic teeth that are attached to a base that is designed to look like your gums. They are typically made from acrylic or porcelain and can be either full or partial. Full dentures are used to replace all of your natural teeth and sit on your gums, while partial dentures are used to replace one or more missing teeth and are attached to your remaining natural teeth using metal or plastic clasps. Dentures can be removed for cleaning and maintenance and should be stored in water or denture solution when not in use.
