DENTURES

Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore the functionality and appearance of your smile. They are custom-made to fit snugly over your gums and are crafted from acrylic.

Types of Dentures

  1. Complete Dentures: These are dentures that replace every tooth in the upper or lower jaw. Usually, they are employed when extraction is required if all natural teeth are lost.

  2. Partial Dentures: These are dentures that replace some missing tooth in the upper or lower jaw. Using clasps or precise attachments to pre-existing teeth, they can be fastened.

  3. Overdenture: A removable dental prosthesis called an overdenture is made to fit over one or more of the natural teeth that are still present, as well as their roots or dental implants. Overdentures use implants or pre-existing tooth structures for extra support and retention, in contrast to traditional dentures that sit directly on the gums. 

Types of Overdentures

  1. Implant-Supported Overdentures: Dental implants serve as the anchors for these overdentures. Strong support from the implants helps to maintain jawbone density and stop bone loss.

  2. Tooth-Supported Overdentures: Overdentures can be designed to fit over the remaining teeth. This approach utilizes the existing tooth roots to support the denture, preserving more natural tooth structure.
