Dentures

Modern Solutions for a Healthy Smile

Oral health is one of the most important factors that directly affect quality of life. However, tooth loss can occur due to age, illness, trauma, or genetic factors. Missing teeth not only cause aesthetic problems but also affect chewing function, speech, and self-confidence. At this point, dentures provide an effective solution.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are artificial teeth designed to restore the function and aesthetics of missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They are usually made from acrylic resin or porcelain and mimic the natural appearance of teeth.

Types of Dentures

1. Complete Dentures (Full Dentures)

   • Used when all teeth in the mouth are missing.

   • Prepared separately for the upper and lower jaws.

   • Consist of artificial teeth mounted on an acrylic base that fits the gums.

2. Partial Dentures

   • Preferred when only a few teeth are missing.

   • Attach to existing teeth with metal clasps or precision attachments.

3. Implant-Supported Dentures

   • Fixed onto implants placed in the jawbone.

   • Provide the most comfortable and natural-looking solution.

Advantages of Dentures

• Provide a natural-looking smile.

• Restore chewing ability.

• Improve speech clarity.

• Boost self-confidence and social life quality.

Tips for Denture Care

• Clean regularly and maintain proper hygiene.
