There are two types of dentures available one is a complete denture which replaces the entire set of upper or lower missing teeth and another one is a partial denture, which can be used to replace just one or a few missing teeth. Complete dentures rest on the gums that cover the jawbones, stability, and retention of these dentures can be improved by attaching them to dental implants. Partial dentures attach to the teeth that are still present and also cover and rest on the gums and bones where the teeth are missing.

Dentures can help a person without teeth in several ways:

Appearance: Dentures can improve a person's appearance by replacing missing teeth and restoring the natural contours of the face.

Function: Dentures can help a person speak and chew more effectively by replacing missing teeth and providing support for the lips and cheeks.

Nutrition: Dentures can help a person maintain a healthy diet by enabling them to eat a wider variety of foods.

However, you may experience some discomfort or soreness after getting dentures, as your mouth and gums are adjusting to the new appliances. This discomfort is usually mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. Your dentist or denturist will provide you with specific instructions for caring for your dentures and managing any discomfort.
