Dentures
Dentures are removable dental appliances used in dentistry to replace missing teeth and the surrounding oral tissues. They are a common and effective solution for individuals who have lost some or all of their natural teeth due to various reasons, such as decay, gum disease, trauma, or age-related tooth loss.
Here are some types of Dentures –
- Complete Dentures - Complete dentures are used when all natural teeth in one or both arches (upper or lower) are missing or need to be replaced.
- Partial Dentures - Partial dentures are employed when some natural teeth remain in the mouth.
Benefits of Dentures
- Restored Chewing Function
- Improved Speech
- Enhanced Aesthetics
- Preventing Tooth Shifting
Denture Care & Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance are crucial to ensuring the longevity and effectiveness of dentures. This includes –
- Daily Cleaning
- Soaking
- Handle with Care
- Regular Check-ups
- Replace as Needed
Crown and Bridge Dental
Crown and bridge procedures are common dental treatments used to restore damaged or missing teeth and improve oral function and aesthetics.
Dental Crowns (Caps)
Dental crowns, also known as caps, are tooth-shaped covers placed over damaged, weakened, or cosmetically imperfect teeth.
- Purpose - Crowns are used to restore a tooth's strength, shape, and appearance. They can protect a tooth with a large filling, cover a broken tooth, or enhance the look of a misshapen or discolored tooth.
- Materials - Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, metal, or a combination of both, depending on the patient's needs and aesthetic preferences.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are fixed prosthetic devices used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring them to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants.
- Types of Bridges - Common types include traditional bridges (anchored to adjacent teeth with crowns), cantilever bridges (used when only one adjacent tooth is available), and implant-supported bridges (secured to dental implants).
- Purpose - Bridges help restore proper chewing function, prevent shifting of remaining teeth, and improve facial aesthetics by filling gaps left by missing teeth.
