Dentures and partials are dental prosthetics designed to replace missing teeth and restore functionality and aesthetics to the mouth. Full dentures are used when all the natural teeth are missing, while partial dentures are employed when some natural teeth remain. 

Dentures are typically made from acrylic resin, sometimes combined with metal for added strength. The process of obtaining dentures involves several steps, including taking impressions of the mouth, creating models, and adjusting the fit to ensure comfort and effectiveness. Regular dental visits are crucial to monitor the fit of the dentures and make necessary adjustments, as changes in the mouth’s structure over time can affect their fit.
