Denture

Denture: A Comprehensive Overview

A denture is a removable dental appliance designed to replace missing teeth and restore oral functionality and aesthetics. It is commonly used by individuals who have lost teeth due to aging, decay, injury, or disease. Dentures help improve chewing, speech, and facial structure while enhancing the wearer’s confidence.

Types of Dentures

1. Complete Dentures – Used when all teeth are missing in the upper or lower jaw.
2. Partial Dentures – Designed for patients with some remaining natural teeth, using a metal or plastic framework to support artificial teeth.
3. Immediate Dentures – Placed immediately after tooth extraction to allow healing while maintaining aesthetics.
4. Implant-Supported Dentures – Attached to dental implants for better stability and function.

Benefits of Dentures

• Restores the ability to chew and speak properly.
• Enhances facial appearance by preventing sagging.
• Provides a cost-effective solution for tooth loss.
• Customizable for comfort and natural appearance.

Dentures offer a practical and affordable solution for individuals with missing teeth, significantly improving their quality of life.
