Dentures

 What are dentures and when is it recommended? 

Dentures are artificial teeth that have the role of replacing lost natural teeth. They are made in specialized dental laboratories, customized according to the oral cavity of each patient, to be comfortable and to correspond functionally and visually with any existing teeth (in the case of partial dentures).
Types of dentures
According to the number of teeth that dentures replace can be:
  1. Partial dentures: replace one or more missing teeth;
  2. Total dentures: replace all missing teeth.
