Dentures

Dental dentures are removable prosthetic devices used to replace missing teeth and restore oral function and aesthetics. They consist of artificial teeth set in an acrylic or metal framework, custom-designed to fit comfortably in the mouth. Dentures can be classified into two main types: complete dentures, which replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch, and partial dentures, which replace only a few missing teeth, anchored to the remaining natural teeth.

Complete dentures are supported by the gums and underlying bone, while partial dentures use clasps or attachments for stability. Both types of dentures are crafted to resemble natural teeth, enhancing the appearance and functionality of the patient’s smile.

Dentures are a cost-effective and non-invasive solution for tooth loss, providing the ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence. While they may take some time to adapt to, modern dentures offer improved comfort and aesthetics, significantly enhancing the quality of life for individuals with missing teeth.
