Dentures are a device made to restore your smile by replacing missing teeth. Despite stereotypes, they are not specific to any one age demographic.
You can receive either complete or partial dentures. Complete dentures replace your upper and lower row of teeth; partial dentures fill in gaps left behind if you’re missing just a few teeth. Porcelain or composite resin is used to make your dentures so that they mimic the appearance of your natural smile, which includes a gum-colored base that fits over the ridges in your mouth.
