Complete Dentures

What is a Complete Dentures?

Complete dentures, often simply referred to as dentures, are removable dental prosthetic devices designed to replace an entire arch of missing teeth (either upper or lower) in the mouth. They are custom-made to fit the unique shape and contours of a patient's gums and mouth. Complete dentures are typically used when all the natural teeth in an arch are missing or need to be extracted due to extensive damage or decay.

Denture Base

The base of the denture is made from a pink or gum-colored acrylic material that closely resembles the appearance of natural gum tissue. This base sits directly on the patient's gums and provides stability and support for the artificial teeth.

Why Complete Dentures recommended?

Complete dentures are recommended for several reasons, primarily to address the functional and aesthetic challenges associated with the loss of all the natural teeth in one or both dental arches (upper or lower).

Restoration of Chewing Function

Dentures restore the ability to chew and bite effectively, allowing individuals to enjoy a wide range of foods and maintain proper nutrition.

Improved Speech

Missing teeth can affect speech and pronunciation. Complete dentures help individuals regain clear and natural speech patterns, which is particularly important for effective communication and self-confidence.

Enhancement of Aesthetics

Dentures are custom-made to replicate the size, shape, and color of natural teeth, providing an improved facial appearance and smile.

Support for Facial Muscles

Complete dentures provide support to the facial muscles, helping to maintain the natural facial structure.

Psychological and Social Benefits

Tooth loss can have a profound impact on an individual's self-esteem and social interactions.

Prevention of Further Dental Issues

By replacing missing teeth with dentures, the risk of developing additional dental problems, such as shifting of remaining teeth, bite misalignment, and gum issues, is reduced.
