What is
Dentures are removable dental prosthetics designed to
replace missing teeth and restore oral functionality.
They work by resting on the gums and, in the case of partial

chewing, speech, and aesthetics, providing a practical
solution for individuals with missing teeth.

lower jaw.
Rest on the gums and are secured with
