Partial dentures use false teeth that will slide into place when the appliance is worn. It may need adjustments with time, which is why it is important that patients bring their partial dentures to their routine dental evaluations.
- Full denture. A full denture is the more common type of denture used in replacing all the teeth in the dental arch. These acrylic appliances are custom-made with false teeth and gums to replace the function of the smile. Full dentures are removed at night and replaced in the morning.
