Dentures: A Complete Guide to Restoring Your Smile

Dentures are a reliable and effective solution for individuals who have lost some or all of their teeth. At Britanna Dental Care, we specialize in providing high-quality, custom-fit dentures that restore function, aesthetics, and confidence. Whether you need full or partial dentures, our team ensures a comfortable and natural-looking result.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They help improve chewing ability, speech, and facial appearance while preventing further oral health issues caused by missing teeth.

Types of Dentures

1. Complete (Full) Dentures
   • Used when all teeth are missing in the upper or lower jaw.
   • Custom-made to fit snugly over the gums.
   • Can be conventional (placed after gums heal) or immediate (placed right after extractions).
2. Partial Dentures
   • Ideal for patients who still have some natural teeth.
   • Attached to a metal or acrylic framework that blends with existing teeth.
   • Helps prevent remaining teeth from shifting.
3. Implant-Supported Dentures
   • Secured by dental implants for improved stability and comfort.
   • Reduces movement and enhances chewing efficiency.
   • Provides a more permanent solution compared to traditional dentures.

Benefits of Dentures

• Restores Functionality: Allows for comfortable chewing and clear speech.

The Denture Process

   • Trial fittings may be conducted to ensure optimal fit and comfort.
3. Denture Placement and Adjustments

   • Follow-up appointments help refine the fit and ensure long-term satisfaction.

Caring for Your Dentures
