What are Dentures?
Dentures are a set of artificial teeth used when a
patient has lost real teeth. Patients lose their teeth
due to many reasons, including:
- severe malnutrition
- genetic defects
- poor oral hygiene
- trauma
Dentures help give better chewing abilities and greater aesthetic
appeal by providing the illusion of natural teeth.
The Dentures Procedure
There are several types of dentures available:
- Removable partial dentures are for patients who are missing
some but not all of their teeth.
- Fixed partial dentures (also known as permanent bridges) are
made from crowns that are fitted on the remaining natural teeth
as well as synthetic materials that are sculpted to ressemble
teeth.
- Complete dentures or full dentures are for patients who are
missing all their upper or lower teeth.
