In dentistry, a Denture is a prosthetic (artificial) device constructed as a replacement for missing teeth. A denture is made of acrylic resin, sometimes in combination with various metals, and comes in two types. A partial denture fills in the spaces created by missing teeth and prevents other teeth from changing position. A complete denture replaces all the teeth. Today’s advanced dental materials create dentures that are more comfortable, more durable and fit better than before. Artificial denture teeth are designed to have the look and feel of natural teeth.
