Traditional dentures and partial dentures are a long-established removable replacement for missing teeth. Partial dentures do not affect the neighbouring teeth in order to be fitted and do not rely on the prognosis of nearby teeth in order to provide a successful long term solution.

Modern-day dentures can look very realistic and natural due to the improvements in technology and the materials used. They have the advantage of being relatively low in cost when compared with other replacement options such as dental implants or bridge.
