Dentures
A denture is a traditional and well tested dental method to replace missing teeth and gives the possibility for those who have lost their teeth to live again a normal life.
Today’s dentures with modern materials and technology have good retention and enable a person to chew and speak. They instantly improve the aesthetics of the mouth, but also the appearance of the face, since they support the facial muscles, giving a natural, youthful look!
Although nothing compares to your own, natural teeth, good dentures can have good functionality and can give you a nice smile.
Dentures – Types and indications
There are several types of dentures. In order to select the best type, first we need to evaluate how many teeth are missing, where the gaps are located and in what shape are the remaining teeth.
When all the teeth are missing, then we have to fabricate a complete denture. If there are still some teeth left in the mouth, then we will have to construct a partial denture.
Full Denture
When all the teeth are missing (in one or both jaws) we can restore the ability to chew and speak with a full denture and also significantly improve the aesthetic of the mouth and the entire face. The upper denture generally has a good retention and many people are completely satisfied with the stability and functionality it offers.
The lower denture may show some mobility when chewing or speaking as it is not firmly attached, but sits on the gums and follows the movement of the tongue, lips, etc. A complete denture still remains is the most conservative and quick way to restore the function and aesthetics of the mouth after the loss of all teeth.

Partial Denture
A partial denture is indicated when some teeth are missing, and there are still healthy and stable teeth remaining. The partial denture rests on the gums (the so-called base of the partial denture) and fills the gaps with artificial teeth.
For better stability, the partial denture is supported on the remaining natural teeth in the mouth with metal arms and retention clasps. Depending on the position and inclination of the teeth, these metal parts may be visible, which can create an aesthetic problem.
Partial Denture & Aesthetic Dentistry
An aesthetic restoration with a denture is not a distant dream but a daily reality! Thanks to technological advances, we now have modern, advanced techniques that allow us to support a partial denture without any visible clasps!
This way, it is almost impossible to distinguish a partial denture from the remaining teeth, while we can achieve even better retention!
