Removable Dentures

Removable dentures can be taken out by the patient and are used when many teeth are missing. They are divided into two types: complete dentures and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when all the teeth in the mouth have been lost and are supported by the palate and gums. Partial dentures are made when only a few teeth remain in the mouth and are supported by the soft tissues in the gaps and by the remaining teeth.
