Dentures are a type of dental prosthesis that replaces missing teeth. They are custom-made to fit the individual patient's mouth, and can be made from a variety of materials, including acrylic, metal, and porcelain. There are two main types of dentures: full dentures and partial dentures. Full dentures replace all of the teeth in an arch, while partial dentures replace only some of the teeth.
Dentures are typically made by a prosthodontist, which is a dentist who specializes in the restoration and replacement of teeth. Prosthodontists have the training and experience to create dentures that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
