What is a Complete Denture?

A complete denture is an appliance that replaces the missing teeth in the mouth. Full, or complete dentures consist of upper and lower prosthetic teeth.

The upper denture is held in place by a vacuum created by saliva that fills the area between your denture and the palate of your mouth. The lower denture is horseshoe-shaped to make room for the tongue and rests on the dental ridge and gums.
