What are "dentures"?

Ronald Rosenblatt, DDS (General and Cosmetic Dentistry) gives expert video advice on: Are dentures painful?; How can I keep my dentures from shifting in my mouth?; What are the advantages and disadvantages of using a denture adhesive? and more...

Dentures are a prosthesis made by the dentist to replace the teeth in your mouth, indeed usually all or most of the teeth in your mouth. It used to be that the average age in the United States for people having dentures was 35 years old. It has now gone considerably up as people are doing more to keep their teeth. Also, the materials used to create dentures have changed dramatically. We now use plastic materials, porcelain and plastic teeth that look and chew like natural teeth to make dentures.
