Dentures are a removable replacement for teeth usually when fixed bridges or implants are not possible or desirable.
A complete denture replaces an entire arch (upper, lower, or both) when there are no remaining natural teeth.
A partial denture replaces teeth in an arch (upper, lower, or both) which still has some natural teeth.
