complete dentures
Whole mouth prosthetics
Complete dentures are removable dental prostheses that replace all teeth in one or both jaws.
Unlike partial dentures, which fill gaps between remaining teeth, complete dentures rest on the gums after all natural teeth are gone.
They're held in place by suction and sometimes adhesive: She soaks her complete dentures overnight.
