Dentures (also known as false teeth) are appliances that are used as a replacement of missing teeth and tissues. They are artificial teeth which enable normal functioning of the human mouth. Dentures are of two types – Complete & Partial. Complete dentures are advised when all the teeth are missing, and partial dentures are applied when some teeth are missing.
They are custom made especially for a set of teeth and gum line. Complete Dentures fit over the upper teeth and roof and on the lower teeth placed like a horseshoe. They are conventional dentures and are removed during the night for cleaning. Partial Dentures consist of replacing missing teeth attached to artificial gum connected by a metal framework which helps to hold the denture in place. Missing teeth can change the position of other teeth hence partial denture helps to overcome this problem and keep the teeth intact.
Dentures, made of acrylic or nylon, replace missing teeth. These removable false tooth, works as a substitute, fit tightly over your gums. They bring back your smile and stop problems caused by teeth gaps.
