Dentures are removable prosthetic appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They are commonly used for patients who have lost multiple teeth due to decay, gum disease, or trauma. Dentures restore the ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently while supporting facial structure.

Modern dentures are crafted using advanced materials that provide improved comfort, fit, and appearance compared to traditional designs. They may be complete, replacing all teeth in an arch, or partial, replacing only missing teeth while anchoring to remaining natural teeth.

The denture process involves comprehensive evaluation, impressions, bite registration, and careful fabrication to ensure optimal fit. Adjustments are made to enhance comfort and stability. Properly designed dentures distribute chewing forces evenly and reduce strain on oral tissues.

While dentures require an adaptation period, they significantly enhance quality of life for individuals with extensive tooth loss. Regular maintenance, cleaning, and periodic adjustments are necessary to maintain function and comfort as oral structures change over time.
