Yes, full dentures are removable for cleaning and upkeep. They generally stay in place through suction against the gums but may require denture adhesive for additional stability.
Modern full dentures aim to replicate the appearance of natural teeth, providing a natural-looking smile and facial contour.
The adjustment period varies, but initially, wearers may experience some discomfort. Over time, most individuals adapt and wear them comfortably.
