Dentures Removable and Fixed
Dentures, whether removable or fixed, are prosthetic devices used to replace missing teeth. Removable dentures are designed to be taken out for cleaning and sleeping. The treatment process involves taking impressions of the mouth to create a custom-fitted removable denture that rests on the gums.
In contrast, fixed dentures, commonly known as implant-supported dentures, are secured in place by dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone. The treatment includes implant placement, a healing period for osseointegration, and the attachment of a customized denture to the implants. Fixed dentures provide greater stability, preventing issues like slipping or discomfort associated with removable dentures. Both types of dentures contribute to restoring oral function, enhancing aesthetics, and improving overall oral health. The choice between removable and fixed dentures depends on individual preferences and dental conditions.
