What are dental prostheses?
Dentures are medical devices designed to replace natural teeth that have been lost due to decay, periodontal disease, trauma or any other cause. They are designed to improve the appearance of the smile, restore the ability to speak and chew properly, and prevent misalignment of the remaining teeth.
They can be made of different materials, such as ceramic, metal, acrylic resin or a combination of these materials, depending on the patient’s needs and the location of the missing tooth. They can be customized and designed to fit the shape and size of the patient’s mouth, ensuring a natural and comfortable appearance.
In general, dentures are an effective and long-lasting solution to restore a person’s smile and oral function after losing one or more teeth.
