Depending on how many natural teeth you have lost, your dentist may recommend full dentures or partial dentures.
Full dentures
If you have lost all your teeth, complete or full dentures can replace all your natural teeth. A denture is created through a series of moulds or impressions, so it is properly sized and fitted.
Partial dentures
A full or partial denture is used to fill and strengthen sections of the mouth where teeth have been removed. Dentures act as a bridge to strengthen the mouth and bite.
Your dental care provider will determine whether a full or partial denture is needed, depending on the overall condition of your teeth, gums and jaw bone.
