A set of artificial teeth, which are used when a patient has lost real teeth. Patients without teeth due to severe malnutrition, genetic defects, ineffective oral hygiene or trauma are all candidates for dentures. Dentures can help give the patient better chewing abilities, as well as enhance their aesthetic appeal by providing the illusion of having natural teeth, providing support for their lips and cheeks, and correcting the collapsed appearance commonly seen between the nose and the chin.
