Dentures

Dentures are prosthetic devices constructed to replace missing teeth, supported by the surrounding soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity. Conventional dentures are removable. However, there are many denture designs, some of which rely on bonding or clasping onto teeth or dental implants.

There are two main categories of dentures, the distinction being whether they fit onto the mandibular arch or on the maxillary arch.
