Types Of Dentures

A denture is a dental prosthesis, which is an artificial replacement of hard and soft tissues of the oral cavity. It can replace the natural teeth effectively and also their adjacent soft tissues.

There are three types of dentures:

Complete dentures

Complete dentures are used when there are no teeth left in the mouth of the patient. Both the upper and the lower jaw are empty. With complete dentures, your facial structure is returned to normal, making your cheeks look fuller, for a healthier and younger look.

Partial dentures

When only a few teeth are missing, then we recommend partial dentures. It can be made completely out of acrylic built or on a metal framework. The decision is dependent on the patient that which treatment is he going to use depending on the number of teeth he is left with.

Implant dentures

The third type of dentures is fixed as opposed to the first two. A dental implant is inserted into the jawbone, and serves as the anchor to the false teeth. This is recommended for those with few missing teeth.
