Prosthetics

A dramatic loss of teeth can be distressing and difficult to deal with, so for many people, a full set of dentures can be the most appropriate option. As well as restoring the functionality of teeth, good dentures can restore and enhance self-esteem. Dentures can also improve facial health as tooth loss can result in decreased support of facial muscles and the eventual degeneration of the jawbone, leading to a saggy, more aged appearance. With recent advances, dentures have become far more comfortable and natural-looking and can now be precisely designed and moulded to fit a mouth. There are various ways that dentures can be held in place and these are shown in the animation to the right. The most common is to have a denture which fits closely over the gums. However, it is now possible to have dentures which are secured by a small number of implants, several implants with a bar fixing or a larger number of Implants onto which a set of teeth can be permanently fitted. Replacing one or a few missing teeth also offers both cosmetic and oral health benefits. In particular, to avoid further dental problems such as shifting teeth, damaged gum tissue and tooth decay. A custom-designed partial denture will fill in the gaps left by missing teeth to create a fully restored smile. Partial removable dentures allow for comfortable chewing, improved speech and a more stable facial structure.
