Dentures and Partial Dentures

Dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace missing teeth and restore function and appearance to the mouth. They are custom-made to fit the individual's mouth and may be full dentures, which replace all of the teeth in either the upper or lower jaw, or partial dentures, which replace only some of the teeth and are supported by the remaining natural teeth.

Full dentures consist of a pink acrylic base that resembles gum tissue and artificial teeth made of porcelain or acrylic. They are held in place by suction and muscle control, as well as dental adhesives if needed.

Partial dentures are made of the same materials but also include metal or plastic clasps that attach to the remaining natural teeth for stability and retention.

Dentures offer several benefits, including restoring the ability to chew and speak properly, improving facial aesthetics by filling out the cheeks and lips, and preventing the remaining natural teeth from shifting out of position.

However, it may take some time to adjust to wearing dentures, and they may need periodic adjustments or replacements over time as the mouth changes. That's why we offer denture religns.

Denture relining is a dental procedure performed to adjust the fit of removable dentures. Over time, the bone and soft tissues in the mouth may change shape, leading to a loose or uncomfortable fit of the dentures. Denture relining involves adding a new layer of material to the underside of the denture base to improve its fit and stability.

Overall, dentures provide a functional and aesthetic solution for individuals with missing teeth, helping them regain confidence in their smile and quality of life.
