Complete Dentures

Introduction

Dentures are a valuable solution in modern dentistry, offering patients an effective way to replace missing teeth and restore their smiles. These custom-made dental appliances are designed to fit comfortably in the mouth, replicating the appearance and function of natural teeth. Whether a patient requires a full set of dentures or partial ones to replace just a few missing teeth, dentures provide a reliable option for those who have lost teeth due to age, disease, or injury.

The use of dentures not only improves the aesthetics of a person’s smile but also plays a crucial role in enhancing oral functionality. By providing support for the facial muscles, dentures help maintain the shape of the face, preventing the sunken appearance that can occur with tooth loss. Additionally, they enable individuals to chew food properly, ensuring better nutrition and overall health. With advancements in dental technology, modern dentures are more comfortable and natural-looking than ever before, allowing patients to enjoy improved self-confidence and quality of life.

Types of Dentures

These are full-arch replacements used when all teeth in either the upper or lower jaw are missing. Complete dentures are custom-made to fit the patient’s mouth and are designed to sit comfortably on the gums. They help restore the entire dental arch, providing a full set of functional and aesthetic teeth.

Partial dentures are used when only a few teeth are missing. They consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base, which is held in place by metal clasps or precision attachments. Partial dentures are designed to fill the gaps left by missing teeth, preventing the remaining natural teeth from shifting out of position.

These dentures are anchored to dental implants, which are surgically placed into the jawbone. Implant-supported dentures offer increased stability and comfort, as they do not rely solely on the gums for support. They are especially beneficial for patients with significant bone loss or those looking for a more secure and long-lasting solution.
