27 Jul Types of dentures
Tooth loss can have serious consequences for oral health, chewing function and smile aesthetics. However, modern dentistry offers a range of prosthetic solutions to restore full function and aesthetics to the teeth. What are the basic types of dentures?
Removable dentures
Removable dentures are one of the most popular solutions for patients with missing teeth. They are easy to remove and clean. Among removable dentures, we distinguish between partial and complete dentures. Partial dentures are used in the case of the loss of several teeth and are attached by means of brackets to the remaining natural teeth. In contrast complete dentures are used for patients who have lost all their teeth in one or both jaws.
Modern removable dentures are characterised by a perfect fit to the shape of the patient's mouth, minimising the risk of irritation and discomfort. Available in our office in Lodz dentures are made from high-quality materials that ensure durability and wearing comfort. Removable dentures can be an alternative to more advanced and expensive prosthetic solutions, while offering an aesthetically pleasing and functional smile.
Fixed dentures
Fixed dentures, also known as bridges or prosthetic crowns, are a permanent solution for patients with missing teeth. Prosthetic bridges are permanently fixed to adjacent teeth or implants. Prosthetic crowns whereas they are placed on teeth that have been weakened by decay or mechanical damage, restoring their function and appearance. Fixed dentures are very durable and aesthetic, often made of porcelain, ceramic or metal alloys, guaranteeing their longevity and natural appearance. Fixed dentures are particularly recommended for people who value comfort and the natural appearance of their teeth, as well as for those who want to avoid the problems associated with wearing removable dentures. It is important to remember to decide on the choice of dentures in consultation with a specialist who will help you choose the best solution.
