Removable Teeth Replacement
Removable teeth replacement, also known as dentures, is a dental prosthesis used to replace missing teeth. Dentures are custom-made to fit the patient's mouth and are made of either acrylic resin or porcelain. They can replace either a few missing teeth or an entire set of teeth.
Dentures can be either complete or partial. Complete dentures are used to replace all of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth still remain. Partial dentures are usually secured to the remaining teeth with metal clasps or attachments.
One of the advantages of removable teeth replacement is that they are easy to clean and maintain. Dentures should be removed and cleaned daily to prevent bacteria from accumulating. They can also be soaked in a denture cleaner to remove any stains or plaque.
Another advantage of removable teeth replacement is that they are less expensive than other options, such as dental implants. While dentures require periodic adjustments and may need to be replaced over time, they are a more affordable option for patients who cannot afford more expensive procedures. With practice and proper adjustments, most patients adapt to wearing dentures and resume their normal activities.
