Dentures are designed to replicate the appearance and function of natural teeth. These primary types include:
Partial Dentures: Partial dentures are recommended for patients who still have some natural teeth remaining. They consist of a metal framework for support, with gum-colored acrylic resin and artificial teeth that seamlessly blend with your smile. In some cases, minor alterations to adjacent teeth may be necessary to improve the retention and stability of the partial denture.
Complete Dentures: Complete dentures are recommended when no natural teeth remain. They rely on the soft tissue (gums) for support and retention. This option may be ideal for individuals dealing with non-restorable, painful, or chronically infected teeth.
Implant Supported Dentures: For enhanced stability, complete and partial dentures can also be combined with dental implants. Modern implant-supported dentures significantly improve comfort, fit, and functionality, allowing for a more secure and natural-feeling solution
