Total denture

classic solution for replacing all teeth

Complete dentures are removable prosthetic restorations used to replace all teeth in one or both jaws. They are intended for patients who have lost all their natural teeth and are looking for a functional and aesthetic solution that will allow them to chew, speak, and smile normally.

How do complete dentures work?

Complete dentures are made of acrylic (a special type of plastic) or a combination of acrylic and metal and are designed to adhere to the gums and anatomical structures of the oral cavity. They are usually supported by the jaw and gum tissue, but in the lower jaw, stability can be challenging due to smaller surfaces for adhesion and tongue mobility.

Types of complete dentures:

  • Conventional complete dentures: which are completely mobile and are placed after the gums and bone have recovered from tooth extraction;
  • Implant-supported complete dentures: are fixed using implants, which ensures greater stability, especially in the lower jaw, and provides a sense of security and strength.

advantages / Disadvantages ​

Advantages of complete dentures:

  • Affordable price: complete dentures are often more affordable compared to solutions that include implants;
  • Aesthetic appearance: with properly shaped and adjusted dentures, patients can achieve a natural smile;
  • Functionality: they allow chewing and speaking, although sometimes it takes some time to adapt.

Disadvantages of complete dentures:

  • Possible instability: especially in the lower jaw, dentures may be less stable;
  • Adjustment required: patients often have to get used to the feel of the dentures in their mouth;
  • Occasional replacement and adjustments: Over time, the bone volume under the prosthesis can decrease, so the prosthesis can become loose and require adjustments or replacement.

Complete dentures can be a very effective way to restore a smile and basic functionality, but it is important to visit the dentist regularly to ensure that the dentures continue to fit the shape of the jaw and the patient’s needs.
