Complete dentures are plates of artificial teeth intended to replace all of the natural teeth in the upper or lower jaw. The plate is made out of gum-colored acrylic and it sits on the tissue of the mouth that covers the bone ridge. Dentures are necessary to keep facial muscles and lips from sagging, and to allow the patient to speak and eat normally.
