A removable prosthesis, commonly known as dentures, is a dental appliance used when all teeth are missing (Total Denture) or several teeth are absent (Partial Denture). It is designed to replace not only the teeth but also to support lost gum and bone volume, restoring the patient’s facial profile and masticatory function.
Treatment Process :
Detailed Impression & Analysis: Precise anatomical impressions are taken to ensure the prosthesis fits perfectly with the palate and oral tissues.
Vertical Dimension Adjustment: The ideal relationship between the upper and lower jaws is recorded to ensure comfort during speech and chewing.
Trial Fitting: Before finalization, the teeth arranged on wax are tested in the patient's mouth for aesthetic and functional approval.
Fabrication: The approved design is processed in the lab using durable, tissue-compatible acrylic or modern thermoplastic materials.
Delivery & Adaptation: The prosthesis is fitted and adjusted in the mouth; the patient is educated on usage, cleaning, and the initial adjustment phase.
Benefits and Advantages :
Cost-Effective: A budget-friendly solution for replacing missing teeth compared to complex restorative surgeries.
Non-Surgical Alternative: The safest option for patients with insufficient bone density or those who prefer to avoid surgical procedures.
Facial Support: Restores the support for lips and cheeks that often collapse after tooth loss, providing a more rejuvenated appearance.
Easy Maintenance: The removable nature of the appliance allows for effortless cleaning of both the prosthesis and the oral cavity.
