What Are the Benefits of Dentures?
A denture is a prosthetic device that is constructed to replace missing teeth. Dentures are made of an acrylic resin that is sometimes combinedw with metal attachments.
There are several types of dentures:
- Removable partial dentures which are used for patients who are missing certain teeth on a particular arch.
- Fixed partial dentures which are also known as crown and bridge dentures. These are fitted on and supported by the adjacent teeth.
- Flexible partial dentures which are comfortable and do not involve invasive procedures.
- Complete dentures which are worn by patients who are missing all of their teeth in a single arch.
