What Are Complete Dentures?
Complete dentures, also known as full dentures, are prostheses used to replace all of a patient's natural teeth. When no natural teeth remain, a set of full dentures can lend a patient an attractive natural-looking smile. Denture teeth are typically created from porcelain and set in an acrylic base, which holds them together. This base is pigmented to look like natural gum tissue.
The Benefits of Full Dentures
In most situations, patients opt for dentures to give themselves a more natural and healthy appearance. Loss of an entire arch of teeth can lead to a loss of confidence when interacting with people. Because full dentures can result in a more attractive smile relatively quickly, they are a great dental restoration option.
Dentures can also help to maintain a healthy face shape. With the loss of teeth, bone structure in the face changes over time. With regular denture wear, these changes to the shape of the face can be minimized.
Complete Dentures are Removable
Complete dentures are held in place via suction and sometimes with an oral adhesive. When not in use, full dentures can be removed.
