What are Dentures?
Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They are custom-made to fit your mouth and restore the function and appearance of your natural teeth. Dentures can be either full or partial, depending on the number of teeth that need to be replaced.
Full Dentures
Full dentures, also known as complete dentures, are used when all of the teeth in either the upper or lower jaw are missing. They consist of a flesh-colored acrylic base that fits over your gums. Full dentures can be further categorized into conventional and immediate dentures.
- Conventional Dentures: Made after the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has healed.
- Immediate Dentures: Inserted immediately after the teeth are removed, allowing you to have teeth during the healing process.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. They consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base, connected by a metal framework that holds the denture in place. Partial dentures fill the spaces created by missing teeth and prevent other teeth from shifting.
Benefits of Dentures and Partial Dentures
