Dentures offer a practical and aesthetically pleasing solution for those dealing with the loss of several or all of their teeth. Serving as a testament to modern dental innovation, dentures not only enhance the visual appeal of one’s smile but also play a crucial role in restoring the functionality of the mouth, including speaking, eating and maintaining the structure of the face. Broadly classified into two types, complete and partial dentures, they cater to varying degrees of dental needs.
Complete dentures are designed for individuals who have experienced the loss of all teeth in either one or both dental arches. This option is particularly beneficial for those looking to rejuvenate their smile entirely, providing a full set of artificial teeth that are both functional and visually appealing. The process of getting complete dentures may involve the use of a denture adhesive to ensure a secure and comfortable fit, allowing wearers to go about their daily activities without worry.
On the other hand, partial dentures are an ideal solution for those who still retain some of their natural teeth. These dentures are crafted to fill in the gaps left by missing teeth, anchored securely to the remaining natural teeth through the use of precise frameworks or clasps. This not only helps in preventing the shifting of remaining teeth but also aids in maintaining oral health and the integrity of one’s facial structure.
Regardless of the type of denture you receive, our dentists and team will use advanced technology to ensure that your dentures are custom-made to fit your mouth perfectly, ensuring a comfortable fit and a natural look. Advances in dental technology have made dentures more comfortable and lifelike than ever before, allowing wearers to smile, speak and eat with confidence. Moreover, dentures play a significant role in supporting the facial muscles, preventing the sagging of facial skin and preserving the natural contour of the face.
