Description

Artificial teeth, also known as dentures, are custom-made replacements for missing teeth. They are designed to mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth, restoring oral health, confidence, and overall quality of life. Types of Artificial Teeth 1. Complete Dentures: Replace a full set of teeth, either upper, lower, or both. 2. Partial Dentures: Replace one or more missing teeth, while remaining natural teeth are preserved. 3. Implant-supported Dentures: Attached to dental implants for added stability and support. 4. Overdentures: Fit over existing teeth or dental implants, providing additional support. Materials Used 1. Acrylic: A common, durable material for denture bases. 2. Ceramic: Used for creating natural-looking teeth. 3. Metal: Sometimes used for denture frameworks or clasps. 4. Flexible Materials: Used for partial dentures or overdentures. Benefits 1. Improved Oral Function: Enhance chewing, speaking, and overall oral health. 2. Boosted Confidence: Restore a natural-looking smile and facial appearance. 3. Enhanced Comfort: Custom-made to fit comfortably in the mouth. 4. Easy Maintenance: Can be cleaned and maintained like natural teeth. Procedure 1. Consultation: Discuss options with a dentist or prosthodontist. 2. Impressions: Take molds of the mouth to create custom dentures. 3. Try-in: Test the dentures for fit, comfort, and appearance. 4. Final Placement: Receive the completed artificial teeth. Remember, artificial teeth require regular care and maintenance to ensure a long, comfortable lifespan.
