Dentures are removable prostheses used to replace multiple missing
teeth. They are made from a combination of dental-grade ceramic and
acrylic that mimic the teeth and gums, respectively. Dentures are
customized to offer a perfect fit, comfort, and aesthetic
properties. This way, dentures are perhaps the best means to replace
a large number of missing teeth.
How are dentures fabricated?
When you visit the dentist for the initial diagnosis, x-rays, and
digital scans of the mouth are taken to understand the contour of
the jaw ridges. This data will be harnessed to fabricate customized
dentures in a dental laboratory, which may take a couple of weeks.
Once the dentures are ready for use, the dentist will place them in
your mouth and check their fit. If any changes are needed in their
contour, the dentist makes them and provides perfectly fitting
dentures to replace your missing teeth. Also, elaborate instructions
would be given to care for the dentures, which would ensure they
last for many years with no hassle.
