WHAT ARE FIXED AND PARTIAL DENTURES?
Dentures are removable appliances which help in replacement of missing teeth and tissues. They are the artificial teeth which enable normal functioning of human mouth. They are of two types – Complete & Partial. Complete dentures are advised when all the teeth are missing, and we suggest partial when some natural teeth are missing. We can customize them especially for a set of teeth and gum line. Complete Dentures fit over the upper teeth and roof and on the lower teeth placed like a horseshoe.
Conventional types requires cleaning in night. Partial one consists of replaced missing teeth attached to artificial gum connected by a metal framework which helps to hold the denture in place. Missing teeth can change the position of other teeth hence partial ones help to overcome this problem and keep the teeth intact.

If your teeth are loose, they can make it difficult to eat. Very loose teeth often have bone loss due to infection and can cause pain when you eat on them. This is the reason we remove them.

They will provide you with more chewing surfaces if you have multiple missing teeth. They can also give loan standing teeth with gaps on either side additional support.
If your teeth are loose, you’ll find that chewing can be much more difficult and often painful as well. You may also find it hard speaking because of pain in the jaw or gums. They allow you to remove these painful teeth and replace them with denture teeth making eating and talking easier.

4. You Struggle With Eating Some Types of Foods
If you struggle with eating certain types of food, dentures may be for you. They can help with chewing and biting problems. If you’re missing teeth, this can make it difficult to eat certain types of foods, as certain types of food can need a lot of chewing.

5. Hypodontia (Missing Teeth)
In hypodonia, teeth never develop. Hypodontia specifically refers to one to six missing teeth. The most common cause of hypodontia is heredity, which means biological parents pass the condition to their children. Treatments include bridges, dentures, dental implants and orthodontics.
Types of Dentures
Porcelain and acrylic resin are the key elements of dentures. Porcelain ones look more natural and match easily with the remaining teeth. However porcelain breaks easily and can wear down the remaining teeth hence, are better used as complete dentures rather than partial.
Acrylic resin ones, on the other hand, are light in weight and easy to adjust. They fit properly and make the jaw movement smoother.
