Who Needs Dentures? Common Indications for Tooth Replacement

Dentures are indicated when:

• All or most natural teeth are lost (trauma, advanced periodontal disease, severe decay)
• Missing teeth impair speech and chewing function
• Jawbone resorption occurs due to tooth loss
• Partial or complete edentulism affects quality of life

Modern options include complete dentures, partial dentures, and implant-supported prostheses. A prosthodontist or general dentist can evaluate the best solution for your needs.
