Dentures, a common dental prosthetic, are removable replacements for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They provide functional and aesthetic benefits, enhancing an individual's ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
The practice of providing dentures has a rich history, dating back centuries. Early forms of dentures were constructed from various materials, including wood, ivory, and human teeth. Modern dentures are typically made from acrylic resin or metal alloys, offering improved comfort, durability, and natural appearance.
