Dentures

Dentures

Dentures are prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth, helping individuals regain both functionality and aesthetics. They play an essential role in restoring a person’s ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently, significantly improving the quality of life. Dentures can be either full or partial, depending on the extent of tooth loss. They are custom-made to fit the individual’s mouth, providing a comfortable and secure fit. For both children and adults, dentures offer a viable solution for tooth loss, especially when dental implants or other restorative methods are not suitable. With advancements in technology, dentures now look more natural and feel more comfortable than ever, providing a long-term solution to missing teeth.

Upper and Lower Conventional Complete Dentures

Conventional complete dentures are used when all the natural teeth in either the upper or lower arch are missing. These dentures provide a full prosthetic replacement, helping to restore the ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence. A dentist will take detailed impressions of your gums and create custom dentures designed to fit securely, ensuring comfort and function. Conventional dentures offer an effective, cost-efficient solution for individuals with significant tooth loss.

  • Custom Fit: These dentures are custom-made to fit the unique contours of your mouth, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit, reducing the risk of irritation or discomfort.
  • Restores Full Functionality: By replacing all missing teeth, conventional dentures restore normal chewing and speaking abilities, enabling patients to eat and talk without difficulty.
  • Affordable and Accessible: Conventional complete dentures are often a more affordable option compared to implants, making them accessible to a wide range of patients needing tooth replacement.

Bio functional Prosthetic System (BPS Dentures) / Complete Flexible Dentures

BPS dentures are a premium solution for complete dentures, designed with advanced materials and techniques to provide better functionality, comfort, and aesthetics. BPS dentures are crafted with precision and a focus on mimicking the natural look and feel of teeth. Flexible dentures, on the other hand, are made from a more adaptable, lightweight material that allows the dentures to bend and adjust to the shape of the mouth, offering more comfort for the wearer.

  • Precision and Natural Fit: BPS dentures are designed to provide a more precise and natural fit, using advanced technology to ensure they closely resemble natural teeth, both in appearance and function.
  • Flexibility and Comfort: Flexible dentures are lightweight and adapt to your mouth’s shape, providing greater comfort and less irritation, especially for those with sensitive gums or allergies to rigid materials.
  • Enhanced Durability: Both BPS and flexible dentures are made from durable materials that provide a long-lasting solution while maintaining comfort and stability throughout daily use.

BPS and flexible dentures offer cutting-edge solutions for patients seeking improved aesthetics and comfort in their tooth replacements.

Teeth Supported Over Denture

Teeth-supported overdentures are a type of partial denture that relies on natural teeth or dental implants for support, providing a more secure and stable fit compared to traditional dentures. These dentures are anchored over the remaining teeth, helping to reduce the risk of discomfort and slippage, which is common with standard removable dentures. This approach also helps to preserve natural teeth by providing them with additional support.

  • Improved Stability: By attaching to existing teeth or implants, teeth-supported overdentures are more stable, reducing movement during chewing and speaking, which ensures better function.
  • Preserves Natural Teeth: This type of denture helps preserve the remaining natural teeth by relieving them of pressure and offering additional support, preventing further damage or extraction.
  • More Comfortable Fit: Teeth-supported overdentures provide a snug fit, making them more comfortable and secure, which reduces irritation and improves the overall wearing experience.

Teeth-supported overdentures provide an optimal solution for patients who want to maintain some of their natural teeth while enhancing comfort and functionality.

Implant Supported Over Denture

Implant-supported overdentures are a modern solution for individuals who need full dentures but seek greater stability and comfort. These dentures are anchored by dental implants placed into the jawbone, providing a solid foundation that mimics the function of natural teeth. Unlike traditional removable dentures, implant-supported overdentures offer superior retention, reducing the need for adhesives and preventing bone loss that often accompanies tooth loss.

  • Improved Retention and Stability: The dental implants serve as a stable anchor, preventing dentures from slipping or shifting during everyday activities, ensuring greater confidence and comfort.
  • Preserves Jawbone Health: The implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and helping to maintain facial structure, which can be a common concern for those with traditional dentures.
  • Long-Term Solution: Implant-supported overdentures offer a durable, long-lasting solution to tooth loss, with proper care ensuring many years of use without the need for frequent replacements or adjustments.

Implant-supported overdentures are a reliable, stable, and long-lasting solution for patients seeking superior comfort and function in their tooth replacement options.

Removable Partial Dentures

Removable partial dentures are designed for individuals who have some natural teeth remaining but need replacements for one or more missing teeth. These dentures are custom-made to fit the contours of your mouth and are supported by clasps or precision attachments that hold them securely in place. They provide a comfortable, functional, and aesthetic way to fill gaps left by missing teeth without the permanence of full dentures or implants.

  • Customizable Fit: Partial dentures are designed to fit securely around the remaining teeth, ensuring comfort and stability while restoring both function and aesthetics.
  • Easy to Remove and Clean: These dentures can be easily removed for cleaning, making maintenance simple and allowing for better oral hygiene compared to fixed options.
  • Affordable Alternative: Removable partial dentures offer an affordable solution for individuals who cannot or prefer not to get implants, making them a versatile and cost-effective option for replacing missing teeth.

Removable partial dentures offer a flexible, affordable solution for patients with partial tooth loss, ensuring both comfort and convenience.
