Full and Partial Dentures

A Denture

Back to 18th Century, Dentures ware made by with ivory from hippopotamus, walrus, and elephant tusks. George Washington famously wore them publicly. Nowadays, denture are made by advanced materials like flexible polymers and custom-designed dentures offer better fit, function, and aesthetics; for more modern, more natural-looking dentures. A denture or removable denture conventional solutions for patients who have lost multiple teeth. It is dental prosthesis designed to replace missing teeth and custom-made to fit each individual mouth. Modern dentures can be made of several materials; traditionally made from acrylic resin and metallic to support stability. Full denture is to replace all the teeth in a jaw/arch; either upper or lower while partial dentures can replace some part of arch/jaw, relying on remaining natural teeth for support. Dentures help improve smile appearance, chewing and speaking abilities and support facial muscles that can occur when teeth are missing. Denture is the most Cost-Effective compared to other prostheses solutions like dental implants and bridges, dentures are generally more affordable, making them more accessible solution for many people with tooth loss with budget. Removable denture can be also easily removed to clean and maintenance. Although they require proper care and regular dental check-ups, they can last many years with good maintenance and take less time in procedures comparing with dental implants. While dentures offer these benefits, it is important to note that they also have some usage limit, for sample the less discomfort or the need for periodic adjustments.
