This is one of the oldest dental treatment modalities. Dentures are made to replace all the missing teeth in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. They are most commonly made out of plastic. Complete dentures can be made to resemble the patient’s old teeth, or they can be made to change the way the natural teeth looked. Properly made complete dentures restore the facial profile, as well as the lip support.
Partials:
Partial dentures are made to replace a few missing teeth in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. This type of prosthesis has a metal framework, which is covered by plastic. Partial dentures are held in place by small clasps around the natural teeth. Small clips can be used instead of clasps in esthetic areas to avoid showing the clasps.
Immediate Dentures:
In situations where teeth are to be removed, immediate dentures are made to be placed on the same day, immediately after the removal of teeth. Tissue healing after the extractions may affect the fit of these dentures, for that reason they are usually used as temporary dentures. After complete healing (1-3 months), conventional dentures are made.
The main advantage is that patients do not have to go without teeth for any length of time.
Benefits:
Dentures placed on same day Improve esthetics Improve function Increase self-confidence
