Dentures are removable replacements for patients with all teeth missing, typically made out of an acrylic resin which may at times incorporate porcelain or metal for additional structural support. The dentures are finely crafted and custom-fitted to the patient. If you properly maintain your dentures, they will appear natural, provide good function and a perfect smile. Additionally, dentures help to strengthen the muscles controlling your expressions that require the support of your teeth, they rid you of pronunciation problems caused by missing teeth, and they aid with chewing food.

 

Benefits of having well-constructed dentures

 

• Dentures make it possible to eat comfortably and well.

• They will improve your appearance and will help to prevent lines and wrinkles from forming around the mouth, and the cheeks from falling in.

• They will allow you to speak normally.

• Dentures will help to maintain the correct alignment between the upper and lower jaws and prevent jaw joint problems.

                                 

                            REMOVABLE PARTIAL DENTURES

 

A removable partial denture (RPD) is for a partially edentulous dental patient with one or several missing teeth who desires to have replacement teeth for functional or aesthetic reasons, and who cannot have a bridge or an implant for any number reasons, such as a lack of required teeth to serve as support for a bridge (i.e. distal abutments) or due to lack of adequate bone suppo2222rt for implants. The reason why this type of prosthesis is referred to as a removable partial denture is that patients can remove and reinsert them when required without professional help. Conversely, a "fixed" prosthesis can and should be removed only by a dental professional.

 

Benefits of having a partial denture

​

A denture serves a number of purposes:

• It provides the pleasure of comfortable eating.

• This ability is paramount in maintaining good health.

• It improves your appearance, confidence, and smile. This is achieved by restoring the natural contours of the lips, cheeks, and face.

• A denture prevents premature aging lines and wrinkles from developing around the mouth.

• When loss of teeth has affected speech, a removable partial denture can correct this by closing the spaces left by lost teeth.

• It helps to maintain a healthy relationship between the upper and lower jaws. The correct positioning of the jaws is necessary to prevent jaw joint problems. It also protects the health of the remaining oral tissues.

• The denture prevents other teeth from drifting into the gaps left by extractions. When teeth drift they open additional spaces between teeth. Food can then pack into the narrow spaces and cause gum irritation and gum disease.

• Additional teeth can usually be added to a partial denture when some remaining teeth have to be extracted.

                                     

                                       FLEXIBLE DENTURES

 

Flexible partial or complete dentures are also custom-fabricated in a dental laboratory like conventional complete and partial dentures. They provide excellent aesthetics and comfort to patients since they adapt to the constant movement and flexibility in your mouth and don't require any metal clasps for retention. Furthermore, most flexible materials blend with the tissue in your mouth so that the only thing that shows is your beautiful smile. You'll be glad to know that most patients become immediately accustomed to their delicate and light-weight dentures.
