Understanding Dentures: An Overview
Dentures offer a practical solution for individuals missing teeth and gum tissue, serving as removable dental appliances. Not only do they facilitate proper chewing and natural speech, but they also provide essential support for facial structure, preventing the potential sunken appearance resulting from tooth and gum loss.
Two primary types of dentures cater to varying dental needs:
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures are designed to replace all teeth within a particular arch, whether it’s the upper (maxillary) or lower (mandibular) arch. These prosthetic devices ensure comprehensive dental restoration and enhance the aesthetics of the patient’s smile.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures come into play when an individual still has some of their natural teeth intact. By replacing only the missing teeth, this type of denture seamlessly integrates with the existing dental structures, offering a harmonious blend of functionality and aesthetics.
The Journey to Your Perfect Set of Dentures
Creating a customized set of dentures is a meticulous process that typically spans a few weeks and involves multiple appointments. Below are the steps involved to ensure the best outcome:
- Precise Moulds and Measurements
To capture the unique contours of your oral cavity, we employ advanced techniques to take accurate moulds and measurements. This ensures that your dentures fit snugly and comfortably.
- Fabrication and Adjustments
After the initial fabrication, we meticulously refine the dentures to meet your specific needs. Additional fittings and adjustments are undertaken to fine-tune the fit, functionality, and overall appearance. Our goal is to create dentures that feel and function seamlessly, mimicking the natural teeth as closely as possible.
- Optimal Care and Cleaning Guidance
To guarantee the durability and longevity of your dentures, we provide comprehensive guidance on the best practices for care and cleaning. Following our recommendations and maintaining good oral hygiene will maximize the lifespan and performance of your dentures.
