Dentures

Dentures or prosthetic teeth are commonly referred to as false teeth. They are specially designed to replace an individual's missing or diseased teeth. Many people dislike the gap that missing teeth have left in their smile. It is also sometimes hard to speak and chew easily with missing teeth. Dentures can help solve all three of those problems. Dentures are replacement teeth that can eliminate the gap left by missing teeth and can improve the wearer's ability to speak and chew normally.

Types of Dentures:

Complete Dentures : Complete dentures can be either "conventional" or "immediate." Made after the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has begun to heal, a conventional denture is ready for placement in the mouth about eight to 12 weeks after the teeth have been removed.

Partial Dentures : A removable partial denture or bridge usually consists of replacement teeth attached to a pink or gum-colored plastic base, which is sometimes connected by metal framework that holds the denture in place in the mouth. Partial dentures are used when one or more natural teeth remain in the upper or lower jaw.
