Dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace missing teeth and restore the function and appearance of the mouth. They consist of artificial teeth set into a gum-colored base made of acrylic or other materials. Dentures can be partial, replacing some missing teeth, or complete, replacing all teeth in either the upper or lower jaw. They are custom-made to fit the unique shape of the patient's mouth, providing a comfortable and natural-looking solution for missing teeth.
Dentures help improve chewing ability, speech clarity, and facial aesthetics for individuals who have lost teeth due to decay, gum disease, injury, or other reasons. They can significantly enhance quality of life by restoring confidence and enabling individuals to eat, speak, and smile with ease. Regular dental check-ups and adjustments may be necessary to ensure proper fit and function of dentures over time, allowing patients to enjoy the benefits of a functional and attractive smile.
