Dentures
| Dentures
(or ‘false teeth’) are removable replacements for missing
teeth. There are several standard forms of tooth replacement in modern
dentistry. A full denture is made to restore both the teeth and the
underlying bone when all the teeth are missing in an arch. Dentures
can dramatically improve a person’s appearance and oral health.
Dentures are molded specifically to the shape of an individual’s
mouth. They mimic the color and appearance of your natural teeth.
They can be partial, as in cases where one or some of the teeth are
missing. People's mouths change gradually and unnoticeably over the
years and over time may require replacement of your dentures. |
| Full
or Complete Dentures |
|
Full
dentures (or 'false teeth') should be comfortable and painless. Tooth
loss in itself is a symptom of disease or can simply be the result
of the aging process. Regardless of its cause, living without teeth
not only damages your appearance but can also be detrimental to your
health. It is important to choose the dentures that are right for
you, and to keep your dentures clean and your mouth healthy. Full
dentures are meant for patients who have lost all of their teeth.
The unique impression of your teeth, bite, and the shape of your jaw
shape will be used to create the dentures. Specially molded dentures
slip over the gums and fit the specific contours of the patient's
mouth. |
| Partial
Dentures |
|
For
some people, partial or removable dentures, also sometimes called
overdentures’, are the most suitable option available for replacing
absent teeth. Partial dentures, which are kept in place with metal
or tooth-colored clasps, aid chewing, prevent sagging of the cheeks
and lips, and improve speech. Modern advances have made it almost
impossible for the average person to differentiate between dentures
and natural teeth. They are designed to fit over a small section of
implants or natural teeth can be attached either by metal clasps or
precision attachments. Some clasps, which can be more expensive, are
made of natural-looking material that is hard-to-detect. Precision
attachments require crowns to be put on the remaining abutments teeth
that hold the partial dentures in place. These supporting teeth must
be in good health. |

Cast
Metal Denture
|
 |
The
Cast Metal partial denture is the best partial denture, and is stronger,
less bulky and offers the best fit. The Cast Metal partial is fabricated
using a metal framework to which the on-site laboratory will attach
higher-grade denture teeth. Some of our panel Prosthodontists needs
coordination with an outside laboratory that makes special metal framework
for the partial denture. |
| Implant
supported Dentures |
 |
An
implant-supported denture is a type of overdenture that is supported
by and attached to implants, while a regular denture rests on the
gums. An implant-supported overdenture attached to implants fits firm
while the regular denture tends to fit less firmly in the mouth. When
a person doesn't have any teeth in the jaw, but has enough bone in
the jaw is a good candidate for implants. An implant-supported denture
has special attachments that snap onto attachments on the implants.
Implant-supported dentures usually are made for the lower jaw because
regular dentures tend to be less stable there compared to upper jaw.
However, you can receive an implant-supported denture in either the
upper or lower jaw.
