What Are Dentures?
Dentures are artificial teeth and gums that are formed in your mouth and created by your dentists to replace lost or removed natural teeth. Dentures can either be full or partial, meaning they can either replace all teeth on either the top or bottom gum line, or just a few that are missing.
Full Dentures (Conventional and Implant Supported)
Gum disease and tooth decay can occasionally become out of control. The choice to extract your surviving teeth on one or both arches may result from this. A cost-effective and efficient method of restoring your function and smile is full dentures.
A thin base of gum-colored acrylic is deposited on the gum tissue to form a complete denture. We integrate natural-looking replacement teeth made of porcelain or acrylic into the base. We are aware of how distinctive your smile is, and Dr. Kal can use his expertise to guide you in choosing teeth that will have the most natural appearance. You can also personalize your appearance by choosing to duplicate your previous smile or have a “new” one.
Despite the long-standing success of dentures, current technology offers methods to enhance their fit and appearance. Dental implants inserted into the jaw can often give dentures a stronger hold on your jaw. Implant-supported dentures typically last longer, in addition to having better retention and a more natural appearance. Dr. Kal can go over these choices with you and explain how they can enhance your denture-wearing experience.
Partial Dentures
Having gaps in your smile can make it harder to chew and smile, whether you’ve lost one or many teeth. Partial dentures are a cost-effective way to replace lost teeth, fill in gaps, improve chewing abilities, and boost your self-confidence when smiling. Furthermore, a partial denture will reduce the risk of your natural teeth falling out in the future by preventing them from moving.
The majority of partial dentures have a thin metal framework with tiny metal clasps that encircle the natural teeth’s gums. As a result, the feel is smooth and non-bulky. Your natural teeth offer support for the structure, making it dependable, safe, and simple to use and take out of the device. We affix natural-looking replacement teeth to the toothless areas and cover the metal structure with gum-coloured acrylic. Keep in mind that your mouth and demands are distinct, and Dr. Kal collaborates with knowledgeable specialists to provide a solution that is aesthetically beautiful, comfortable, and useful.
Implants can now support removable partial dentures, improving fit and reducing weight, thanks to technological advancements. There are inherent difficulties with dentures, particularly for first-time users. Our aim is to keep you as comfortable as possible while reducing your daily annoyances.
