Complete Dentures

A complete denture, also known as a full denture, is a removable dental prosthetic that replaces all the teeth in one or both dental arches:
Complete dentures are custom-made to fit the individual's mouth and are supported by the palate or jawbone ridge. They are typically made from acrylic or a combination of acrylic and metal. The artificial teeth are shaped, sized, and colored to look natural, and the gum-colored acrylic is tinted to match the patient's face and lips.
Complete dentures can be used when all the teeth in an arch are missing. They can be an option when dental implants are not suitable due to cost, medical conditions, or the risk of damaging vital structures. Complete dentures can also be used to replace teeth lost due to intraoral cancer.
Benefits of complete dentures include:
Restoring the ability to eat and chew
Improving the appearance of the mouth
Allowing patients to smile and speak with confidence
However, some patients may experience reduced taste and chewing abilities, and issues with retention
