Dentures
Dentures are a type of removable prosthetic device that are used to replace missing teeth and restore oral function and appearance. They are typically made of acrylic resin, and may contain metal or porcelain for added strength and durability. Dentures are custom-made to fit the patient's mouth and may be full or partial, depending on the number of missing teeth.The process of getting dentures typically involves the following steps:Evaluation: The dentist will evaluate the patient's oral health and take impressions of the mouth to create a mold.Fitting: The mold is used to create a custom set of dentures that are then fitted and adjusted to ensure proper fit and comfort.Adjustment: Over time, the dentures may need to be adjusted or relined to maintain proper fit and function.Dentures offer several benefits, including improved appearance, speech, and chewing ability, as well as increased confidence and self-esteem. They are also a more affordable option compared to dental implants or bridges.However, dentures may require some adjustment period, and may affect taste, speech, and eating habits. They also need to be removed and cleaned regularly to maintain good oral hygiene, and may need to be replaced over time due to normal wear and tear.It is important to consult with a dental professional to determine if dentures are the best option for your particular case, and to receive proper care and maintenance instructions to ensure their longevity and effectiveness.
