Dentures, often referred to as "false teeth," are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and the surrounding gum tissue. They are a common solution for individuals who have lost some or all of their natural teeth due to decay, gum disease, injury, or other factors. Dentures not only restore the ability to chew and speak properly but also provide support for facial muscles, preventing a sunken appearance that can result from tooth loss.

There are two main types of dentures:

  • Complete Dentures: These are used when all teeth in an entire arch (upper or lower jaw) are missing. They rest directly on the gums and are typically held in place by suction or with the help of denture adhesive.

  • Partial Dentures: These are used when some natural teeth remain. They consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base, often with metal clasps or precision attachments that hook onto the remaining natural teeth for stability.

Beyond these traditional types, advancements in dentistry offer more specialized options:

  • Immediate Dentures: Placed immediately after tooth extractions, allowing the patient to avoid being without teeth during the healing period. They often require adjustments or replacement later as the gums and bone heal and change shape.

  • Implant-Supported Dentures (Snap-in Dentures): These dentures attach to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone. They offer significantly greater stability and retention than traditional dentures, as they "snap" onto the implants, eliminating the need for adhesives and improving chewing efficiency.

  • Implant-Retained Dentures (Hybrid Dentures): Similar to implant-supported, but these are typically non-removable and are permanently fixed to dental implants.

Proper care and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and hygiene of dentures. This includes daily cleaning with a soft-bristled brush and a non-abrasive denture cleanser (avoiding regular toothpaste), rinsing them after eating, and soaking them overnight in water or a denture cleaning solution to keep them moist and retain their shape. Regular dental check-ups are also essential to ensure the dentures fit properly and to monitor the health of the gums and remaining natural teeth.
