Dentures are dental appliances used to replace missing teeth and supporting tissue, enhancing chewing, speech, and appearance. They are made from acrylic, resin, or metal Types of Dentures Complete Dentures: Replace all teeth in an arch, and supported by the ridges and palate. While they are generally made after tooth extraction and healing, Immediate Dentures are fabricated in advance and placed immediately after extraction. Partial Dentures: Replace a few missing teeth, supported by the adjacent natural teeth with clasps. Implant Supported Dentures: Known as "snap-in" dentures, these snap onto dental implants for superior stability, reducing the need for adhesives. Denture Care and Maintenance Daily Cleaning: the dentures are brushed daily to remove food and plaque, and weekly with a specialised denture cleanser. Storage: dentures have to be kept in water or a cleaning solution at night to prevent them from drying out. Oral Hygiene: the gums, tongue, and palate should be brushed daily. Adjustments: With regular use, the jawbones and gums shrink and the dentures may require periodic relining or replacing.
