Can you have all your teeth removed and replaced with denture?

While it is possible to have all of your teeth removed and replaced with dentures, it is generally not recommended unless absolutely necessary. Dentures can be a good option for people who have lost a significant number of teeth due to decay, gum disease, or injury, but they are not as good as natural teeth. Dentures can slip or come loose, making it difficult to eat and speak. They can also irritate the gums and cause discomfort. In addition, dentures require special care and maintenance, such as regular brushing and soaking.

There are a number of alternatives to dentures that may be a better option for people who are missing teeth, such as:

- Dental implants: Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed in the jawbone. They provide a strong and stable foundation for replacement teeth, and they look and function just like natural teeth. Dental implants are the most expensive option for replacing missing teeth, but they are also the most durable and long-lasting.

- Bridges: Bridges are fixed dental prosthetics that are used to replace one or more missing teeth. They are made up of a pontic (the replacement tooth) that is attached to two or more crowns (the abutments) that are placed on the adjacent teeth. Bridges are a good option for people who are missing a few teeth in a row and who have healthy teeth on either side of the gap.

- Partial dentures: Partial dentures are removable dental prosthetics that are used to replace a few missing teeth. They are made up of a metal framework that supports the replacement teeth. Partial dentures are a good option for people who are missing teeth in different parts of the mouth and who do not want to get dental implants or bridges.
