Full & Partial Denture.
Dr. Batuhan Ünlüler
A full denture replaces all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw, while a partial denture fills in the gaps left by a few missing teeth, helping to restore both function and aesthetics.
With a skilled dentist and proper care, results can last for years, with touch-ups as needed. Bonding, like veneers or crowns, can break under constant pressure, so avoid chewing hard foods and bad habits like nail-biting or using teeth as tools. Maintain good oral hygiene and visit your dentist regularly for optimal health.
Full & Partial Denture
Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore oral function and aesthetics. Here are the key points:
- Complete Dentures: Replace all teeth in either the upper or lower jaw.
- Partial Dentures: Replace some missing teeth while preserving remaining natural teeth.
- Material:Typically made from acrylic resin, sometimes combined with metal for added support.
- Fit and Comfort: Custom-fitted by a dentist to ensure comfort and proper function.
- Maintenance:Requires regular cleaning and care, both for the dentures and the mouth, to prevent issues like infections or bad odors.
- Adjustment:May need adjustments over time due to changes in the mouth or natural wear.
- Benefits:Restores the ability to chew and speak properly, improves smile aesthetics, and supports facial structure.
