What Are Dentures?
Dentures are a prosthetic device that custom made to replace missing teeth. When you have lost teeth, dentures are an option to help replace these teeth. A custom made and skillfully fit denture will allow you to eat and speak again with confidence. Your denture will also restore your smile.
Types of Dentures
Dentures come in two basic varieties – full and partial. Full dentures are a complete replacement for your teeth. A full denture completely covers your gums, and replaces all the teeth on either the upper or lower jaw, or both. A denture can be a great solution when all teeth are missing. Partial dentures are used when only some of the teeth are missing. The replacement teeth are attached by a metal or plastic support structure. They attach securely to surrounding teeth with clips and fill the gaps left by lost teeth.
Dentures can now be made more secure and more comfortable with the assistance of dental implants. The denture is easily clicked into a holder on the implant to stabilize the prosthetic even more. Dental implants can make full and partial dentures much more stable and can reduce the additional load placed on your remaining teeth in a partial denture.
