Fixed and Removable Dentures

For example, there’s the fixed partial denture (commonly called a “bridge”), the removable partial denture, and the removable full denture (the one in the glass). It’s also possible to have a full set of dentures which are securely fixed in the mouth. What’s the difference between all of these “dentures”? Essentially, a removable denture (as the name implies) is easy for you to take out, while a fixed denture can only be removed at the dental office. But when you’re choosing between these two types, what’s at issue is more than just removability — there are major implications for your health and self-confidence, too.
