What is it?
A removable full denture replaces all of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw.
The prosthetic teeth are mounted on a plate made from acrylic and kept in place by suction.
Why is it used?
A removable full denture are used when every tooth in a jaw has been lost.
What are the risks?
The treatment will always have a much looser fit than natural teeth or implants and so may cause discomfort.
