A denture is a removable alternative for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. After you lose all of your teeth, facial muscles can sag and make you look older. Dentures can help in filling out the appearance of your face and profile. They can be helpful in a very close resemblance to your natural teeth so that your appearance does not change much. Dentures can even improve the look of your smile.
Full & Partial Dentures in Kanata
Dentures
are divided into two main categories: complete dentures and partial dentures.
Complete dentures
Complete
dentures comprise an acrylic base to imitate gum tissue and the teeth that can
be made of porcelain or acrylic. The denture base is specially made to closely
fit the contours of the arch to make sure the denture is stable during normal
oral functions such as eating, speaking, or swallowing. Complete dentures are
designed to replace the teeth in an entire arch when all the teeth are missing.
Partial dentures
Partial
dentures may be made using a metal framework and teeth attached in the where
the teeth missing areas. The metal framework also has extensions that fit
around some of the existing teeth. The combination of the arms and the
framework that wraps around some of the teeth helps keep the partial denture
stable during normal oral functions. Partial dentures are used when there are
still teeth present in the arch.
Complete
and partial dentures can provide patients with a functional replacement when
their teeth have been lost. There are a lot of personalized indications for
patients wearing dentures to maintain the health of oral tissues. Dr. Maneet
Ahlawat will provide all necessary information for patient education.
