Dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace missing teeth and restore oral function and aesthetics. They are custom-made to fit comfortably in the mouth and are typically made of acrylic, metal, or a combination of both materials. Dentures can replace a few missing teeth (partial dentures) or a full arch of missing teeth (complete dentures), providing support for the lips and cheeks and enabling patients to speak, eat, and smile with confidence.
Modern dentures are designed to look and feel natural, with advancements in materials and technology allowing for improved fit, comfort, and aesthetics. Depending on the patient's needs and preferences, dentures may be supported by natural teeth, dental implants, or adhesive creams for added stability. Regular maintenance and adjustments may be necessary to ensure the dentures continue to fit properly and function optimally. With proper care, dentures can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals with missing teeth, restoring their ability to eat a varied diet, speak clearly, and smile with ease.
