Complete and Partial Dentures

If you've lost some or all of your natural teeth, whether from periodontal disease, tooth decay or injury, complete or partial dentures can replace your missing teeth and your smile. Replacing missing teeth benefits your appearance and your health. Without support from the denture, muscles in the face will sag, creating an older appearance. You'll be able to eat and speak - things people often take for granted until they lose their natural teeth.

Whether you wear complete or partial dentures you must still take good care of your mouth. Brushing your gums, tongue and palate every morning with a soft-bristled brush before you insert your dentures will stimulate circulation in your tissues and help remove plaque.
