Partial & Complete Dentures
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and restore oral function, aesthetics, and confidence. They are custom-made to fit comfortably and provide a natural-looking smile.
Partial Dentures
A partial denture is used when a patient still has some remaining natural teeth. It consists of artificial teeth attached to a gum-colored base, which is secured in place with metal or flexible clasps that grip the natural teeth.
Advantages of Partial Dentures:
✔️ Restores missing teeth while preserving natural ones
✔️ Improves chewing, speech, and overall oral function
✔️ Prevents remaining teeth from shifting out of place
✔️ A more affordable and non-invasive alternative to implants or bridges
✔️ Can be easily adjusted or replaced if needed
Complete Dentures
A complete denture replaces an entire arch of missing teeth, either in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. It consists of a full set of artificial teeth mounted on an acrylic or flexible gum-colored base. Complete dentures are designed to fit securely over the gums and may require denture adhesive for added stability.
Advantages of Complete Dentures:
✔️ Restores full function and appearance for patients with total tooth loss
✔️ Enhances facial structure by preventing sunken cheeks caused by missing teeth
✔️ Custom-made for comfort and a natural look
✔️ Non-surgical and more affordable than full-mouth implants
✔️ Can be easily removed for cleaning and maintenance
Dentures provide a practical and effective solution for restoring missing teeth, improving both oral health and quality of life.
