Complete Dentures & Partial Dentures
Dentures are removable dental prosthetics that are used to replace missing teeth. They can be made of acrylic, metal, or a combination of both materials. Dentures are custom-made to fit each patient's mouth and provide a natural-looking smile while restoring the ability to chew and speak properly. There are two main types of dentures: complete dentures, which replace all teeth in either the upper or lower jaw, and partial dentures, which replace only a few missing teeth. Modern advances in denture technology have allowed for improved fit, comfort, and functionality. Regular maintenance and care, such as proper cleaning and regular check-ups with a dentist, are essential to ensure the longevity of dentures and the overall health of the mouth.
Types of dentures at Dental Charms? Partial dentures and complete dentures are two common treatment options for individuals missing multiple teeth. Partial dentures are used when a patient is missing some, but not all, of their natural teeth. They are designed to fill in gaps left by missing teeth and are held in place with metal clasps or precision attachments. On the other hand, complete dentures are used when a patient has lost all their natural teeth on either the upper or lower jaw (or both). Complete dentures can restore both function and aesthetics to the mouth, providing support for facial muscles and restoring the ability to chew and speak properly. Both partial and complete dentures require regular adjustments and maintenance to ensure a proper fit and comfort for the wearer. Ultimately, the choice between partial and complete dentures will depend on the individual's specific needs, oral health history, and budget constraints. Consulting with a dental professional is essential in determining the most suitable option for each patient's unique situation.
