Dentures
Dentures are prosthetic devices that replace missing teeth and the surrounding tissues. They are typically made of acrylic resin or a combination of metal and acrylic materials, and are custom-made to fit the unique shape of a person's mouth.
There are two types of dentures: complete dentures and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when all of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain.
Dentures can be removable or fixed. Removable dentures can be taken out of the mouth for cleaning and maintenance, while fixed dentures are secured in place with dental implants or other dental attachments.
It is important to take good care of dentures to ensure they last as long as possible and remain comfortable to wear. Regular cleaning and maintenance, along with visits to the dentist for adjustments and repairs, are essential for maintaining good oral health with dentures.
