Dentures are removable dental appliances that replace missing
teeth As an alternative to bridges and implants, dentures can be used to replace
several missing teeth. It is possible to get either full, or partial dentures.
Full dentures remain in place by form fitting to the gum ridges. Partial dentures
often have additional ridges that fit around the natural teeth helping them
stay in place.
It can take approximately 3-4 visits to our dental specialist in order to be
properly fit with a denture. Prosthodontist will take several impressions of
the gums, and send these to lab technicians. They uses these impressions to
construct your new dentures. On the next appointment, prosthodontist will check
the dentures to ensure that your bit is correct and that the dentures meet your
approval.
| Partial denture is a removable dental appliance that replaces
multiple missing teeth. It can be attached to the teeth with clasps (clasp
or conventional partial) or it can be attached to the teeth with crowns
with precision attachments (hidden clasps). Both types have a metal framework
and plastic teeth and gum areas. |
