Dentures, also known as false teeth, are removable replacements for missing teeth. They can be full or partial.

Full Dentures replace all the teeth of the upper or lower jaw.

They are fitted about 8 to 12  weeks after having the teeth removed when the gums have completely healed.

Dentures that fit well during the first few years will not necessarily fit well for the rest of the person’s lifetime. This is because the bone and structures of the mouth are living tissues, which are change over time.

Their use is being phased out as implant technology takes over, and the need for new dentures is eliminated.
