Dental dentures are removable dental appliances that are designed to replace missing teeth and restore a person’s ability to speak, eat, and smile with confidence. Dentures can be used to replace all or some of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw, depending on the patient’s needs.
Dentures can be made from a variety of materials, including acrylic resin, porcelain, and metal. The teeth on dentures can also be made from a variety of materials, including acrylic, porcelain, and composite resin.
There are two main types of dentures: complete dentures and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used to replace all of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures are used to replace one or more missing teeth and are attached to the remaining teeth in the mouth.
It is important to properly care for dentures, including daily cleaning and regular check-ups with a dentist. Dentures may need to be adjusted or replaced over time to ensure a comfortable fit and optimal function.
