Why wear Dentures?

1. They replace the support in your face that was once provided by natural teeth, allowing you to maintain your facial appearance and avoid looking older.
2. When teeth are lost, the oral bone structure begins to deteriorate. Dentures slow the rate at which these bones disintegrate.

Do dentures feel like natural teeth?

• Yes! They are manufactured as teeth replacement tools designed to give the appearance and feel of natural teeth.
• They are extremely comfortable and simple to use and adapt to.

Different types of Dentures:

1. The traditional complete denture:
• Full replacement of both the upper and lower sets of teeth is referred to as a complete denture
• They are detachable.

2. Partial dentures :
• When a patient has a few missing teeth, a dentist may recommend partial dentures to replace them.
• A removable partial denture is made up of replacement teeth attached to a metal frame that holds the denture in place.

3. Immediate dentures :
• These are prefabricated, that can be placed in your mouth immediately after teeth extraction.
• The purpose of these is to replace missing teeth during the healing process.

4. Over Dentures :

• An overdenture is a removable type of denture that sits on the gums and is held in place by dental implants.
• Depending on the needs, it can be replaced on either the lower (mandible) or upper (maxillary) jaw.

How Dentures are made:

Step 2: Trial dentures are done to check the fitting.

Step 3: Final dentures are completed with the necessary corrections.

Step 4: Dentures are ready to wear.
