Full Dentures
Full dentures are generally indicated when there is an absence of
healthy teeth that may 
be
employed to assist in supporting a partial
denture. As a result, full dentures cover the full arc or ridge.
Full lower dentures extend to the bottom of the gum line and
are retained by gravity. Full upper dentures are similar, but
utilize a span of acrylic that fits snugly agains the pallet.
Upper dentures are retained by suction created between the
center span and the patients natural pallet.
Full dentures are made of very hard cast acrylic material that has been bonded to the porcelien or acrylic teeth selected by the dentist and labratory. Due to the advancements in materials, dentures today provide a very natural, realistic appearance.
