There are two main types of dentures: full and partial.

Full Dentures:

Full dentures are used to replace all of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw. They are held in place by suction, and adhesive can also be used for extra stability. Full dentures are custom-made for each patient, and the gum-colored base is designed to fit snugly against the gums.

Partial Dentures:

Partial dentures are used to replace several missing teeth in a row. They are held in place by clasps that attach to the remaining natural teeth. Like full dentures, partial dentures are custom-made for each patient and are designed to look and function like natural teeth.
