A denture consists of two main parts:
The Denture Base: This is the part that sits on the gums, crafted to fit the contours of your mouth for comfort and stability. It plays a critical role in both function and aesthetics.
The Artificial Teeth: Attached to the denture base, these teeth mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile confidently.
Dentures serve as a versatile and effective solution for replacing missing teeth. They come in various types, each designed to meet specific needs. Here’s how they can be utilised:
Complete Dentures: Used when all teeth in an arch (upper or lower) are missing. These dentures restore the full set of teeth, improving appearance and function.
Partial Dentures: Ideal for replacing several missing teeth while preserving the remaining natural teeth. They attach to existing teeth with clasps or precision attachments, providing a secure fit.
Implant-Supported Dentures: For enhanced stability, dentures can be anchored to dental implants. This reduces movement and improves comfort during eating, speaking, and social activities.
By choosing dentures, you invest in a practical solution that not only restores oral function but also enhances your overall quality of life.
