CROWNS, BRIDGES AND DENTURES

Dentures are also called false teeth. Dentures are removable prosthesis which may replace whole set of teeth in one or both jaws, or in case of partial dentures few false teeth are fixed among other natural teeth.

Complete dentures are made of acrylic base with artificial teeth positioned so they restore the smile, the jaw position and restore the bite. A set of dentures require few visits to the dentist starting with taking a mold of the mouth, which is used to make plaster casts that is used by a technician to designs the dentures. The dentist then ensures that denture fit perfectly to the shape of the jaws. However, once fitted further adjustments would be required to attain the exact natural shape & look. Some older patients find it difficult to keep their dentures in place, in which Dr Namrata, recommend a dental implant(link to implant dentistry) to anchor it in firmly.

Partial dentures may be used to replace one or more teeth in an arch and can be anchored to natural teeth with metal clasps. The base plate of removable dentures is made from acrylic or metal. A partial denture prevents the remaining teeth from drifting out of position in the mouth, which can lead to further tooth loss.Get your appointment fixed for multiple number of options for dentures in Shree-ji Dental Clinic.
