COMPLETE DENTURES
06 April 2023

Complete dentures, also known as false teeth, are removable dental appliances used to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissue. Dentures are typically made of acrylic resin, sometimes reinforced with metal, and can be used to replace a few missing teeth or a full set of teeth. Dentures are custom-made to fit each patient's mouth, and the process of creating dentures typically involves several appointments with a dentist or prosthodontist. The dentist will take impressions of the patient's mouth to create a mold, and then the dentures will be fabricated in a dental laboratory. Dentures can be either complete or partial. Complete dentures are used when all of the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. Partial dentures are usually attached to the remaining teeth with metal clasps, while complete dentures rely on suction and adhesive to stay in place. While dentures can take some time to get used to, they can significantly improve a person's ability to eat and speak, as well as restore their smile and overall appearance. Proper care and maintenance of dentures, including daily cleaning and regular dental check-ups, are important to ensure their longevity and effectiveness.
