✅ Dentures at Yonsei Heal Dental Clinic in Seoul: Natural Tooth Replacement Solutions for Foreigners

  • Looking for dentures in Seoul? Discover expert dental clinics offering full & partial dentures, implant-supported dentures, and advanced prosthetic solutions with English-speaking services for expats and foreigners.

 

✅ What Are Dentures?

  • Dentures, also called prosthetic teeth, are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They restore oral function (chewing, speaking) and improve facial aesthetics by supporting lips and cheeks.
  • There are three main types of dentures:
  1. Complete Dentures (전체 틀니) – used when all teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing.
  2. Partial Dentures – used when some natural teeth remain, with prosthetic teeth attached to a gum-colored base.
  3. Implant-Supported Dentures – fixed more securely using dental implants, offering improved stability and comfort.

Dentures are a common and effective solution for elderly patients, those with multiple missing teeth, or people seeking cost-effective alternatives to full dental implants.
