What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They are custom-made to fit comfortably in your mouth, providing a functional and aesthetic solution for tooth loss. Dentures can be full (replacing all teeth) or partial (replacing some teeth), depending on your specific needs.

Types of Dentures

At Calcutta Family Dentistry, we offer various types of dentures to suit your individual needs:

Full Dentures

Full dentures are used when all of the natural teeth in an arch (upper or lower) are missing. They consist of a complete set of artificial teeth set in a gum-colored acrylic base that fits snugly over your gums.

• Conventional Full Dentures: These are placed after the remaining teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has healed, which may take several months.
• Immediate Full Dentures: These are placed immediately after the remaining teeth are removed. Adjustments may be needed as your gums heal and shrink.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. They consist of artificial teeth attached to a gum-colored base, which is connected by metal or flexible clasps that attach to your natural teeth.

• Conventional Partial Dentures: These are designed to fill gaps left by missing teeth, preventing neighboring teeth from shifting.
• Flexible Partial Dentures: Made from a lightweight, flexible material, these dentures offer a more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional metal-based partial dentures.

Benefits of Dentures

• Restored Functionality: Dentures restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently.
• Improved Appearance: Modern dentures are designed to look natural and enhance your facial appearance.
• Support for Facial Muscles: Dentures help maintain the structure of your face, preventing a sunken appearance.
• Custom Fit: Dentures are custom-made to fit your mouth comfortably, ensuring a secure and stable fit.
