Dentures (Partial or Full)
Dentures are removable false teeth that are used to replace missing teeth. Full dentures are made when there are no teeth at all present on the upper and lower jaws. Partial dentures are made when there are healthy supporting teeth surrounding the missing tooth. The dentures are matched to your existing tooth colour so they blend in with your smile. A colour match of your gums can also be achieved to camouflage the denture piece.
Full Dentures
Full dentures comprise upper and lower teeth replacement and are required when no teeth at all are present on the upper or lower jaws. It is the full lower denture that is always a problem as there is no bone to hold it in place (this is why it is always advised to save lower teeth). But denture implants are proving very successful in supporting a lower denture.
Partial Dentures
Acrylic
A Cheaper Form of Partial Denture Can Be Made of Acrylic when Cost Is a Factor, or When the Supporting Teeth Are Not Healthy as It Is Easy to Add to These Dentures if Another Tooth Is Lost but Acrylic Dentures Are Bulky and Less Retentive.
ACRYLIC
Cobalt-Chromium (CoCr)
Cobalt-chromium alloy is used to create strong, long-lasting partial dentures. But the supporting teeth must be healthy as it can be difficult to add to these dentures if a supporting tooth is lost. So a full examination by your dentist must be carried out prior to constructing a CoCr partial denture.
