What Are Dentures?

Dentures are prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and restore oral functionality. They come in different types, each catering to specific needs and preferences.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are ideal for individuals with some missing teeth. They consist of replacement teeth attached to a base that matches the color of your gums. These dentures offer a seamless blend with your natural teeth.

Indications for Partial Dentures

Multiple Missing Teeth:

Partial dentures are suitable when you have several missing teeth, providing an effective solution for restoring your smile's completeness.

Preservation of Existing Teeth:

If you have healthy natural teeth, partial dentures help preserve them by filling the gaps left by missing teeth.

Cost-Effective Option:

Partial dentures offer a cost-effective alternative to other tooth replacement options, making them an accessible choice for many patients.

Full Dentures

Full dentures, also known as complete dentures, are suitable for those who have lost all their natural teeth. They comprise a full set of upper and lower teeth and rest on the gums. Full dentures restore both functionality and aesthetics.

Immediate Dentures

Immediate dentures are crafted in advance and can be placed immediately after tooth extraction. This ensures that you don't have to go without teeth during the healing process. However, adjustments may be needed as your mouth heals.

Overdentures

Overdentures are designed to fit over a few remaining natural teeth or dental implants. This type provides added stability and support, enhancing comfort and functionality.
