A denture is a removable prosthesis designed to replace missing teeth. The type considered depends on how many teeth the person still has and on the condition of their mouth.

Short answer. A partial denture replaces some teeth; a complete denture replaces all the teeth in an arch. Dental Nakeji also lists immediate dentures in its catalog. All of them are custom-made and need checkups and, at times, adjustments.

What is the goal?

Missing teeth can affect chewing, speech and appearance. A removable prosthesis can help restore part of those functions. The professional examines the mouth and talks with the patient about their needs before recommending a type of denture and explaining what to expect from it.

Why do adjustments matter?
