Dentures
Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore functionality, aesthetics, and confidence. They are a popular solution for individuals who have lost some or all of their natural teeth due to decay, injury, or gum disease.
There are two main types of dentures: complete and partial. Complete dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain, filling the gaps and preventing adjacent teeth from shifting. Both types are custom-made to fit comfortably and match the appearance of natural teeth.
Modern dentures are made from durable materials like acrylic or metal, offering improved comfort and a natural look. Implant-supported dentures are another advanced option, providing added stability and enhanced chewing ability by anchoring to dental implants.
Caring for dentures is essential to ensure their longevity and your oral health. They should be cleaned daily using a soft brush and a non-abrasive cleaner. When not in use, they must be kept moist to maintain their shape.
Dentures significantly enhance quality of life by restoring speech, chewing ability, and facial structure. Consult your dentist to explore the best denture options for your needs.
