When all your teeth are missing, a complete or full denture is used to replace them, whereas if only a few teeth need replacing, a partial denture can be used.
As well as restoring function good dentures can restore and enhance your appearance and your self-esteem by improving your facial contour by counterbalancing the loss of muscle tone that results from tooth loss.
Types of dentures:
Acrylic resin dentures cost:
From £500 full upper & lower

Cobalt Chrome:
This metal framework allows secure anchorage to teeth adjacent to gaps & necessitates less coverage of the roof of your mouth than acrylic dentures.

Flexible Dentures:
These are made from a nylon resin material which means if appropriate for you they are much more flexible & comfortable than other dentures.
