Complete Dentures

Find UK Dentists »

Complete dentures are worn by people who are missing either the entirety of the top row (maxillary) of teeth, or the lower (mandibular) row, or both. They are brilliant for providing support for facial muscles, as well as the shape of the mouth; without dentures, a toothless mouth will cause cheeks to sag, resulting in a much older appearance.

Unlike the prehistoric variations, modern-day dentures are very natural in appearance. They are hard to dislodge, especially if they have been cemented in place, and so whether you have permanent or complete dentures, the only thing people will notice is how healthy your smile is!
