What is Dentures

                Dentures are artificial teeth and gums that are formed to your mouth and created by your dentists to replace lost or removed natural teeth. Dentures can either be full or partial, meaning they can either replace all teeth on either the top or bottom gum line, or just a few that are missing. Regardless of what kind of dentures you may need, they will be custom designed to fit your mouth, and visually matched to your existing teeth.

Removable Dentures

                Dentures are custom-made replacements for missing teeth and can be taken out and put back into your mouth. While dentures take some getting used to, and will never feel exactly the same as natural teeth, today’s dentures are natural looking and more comfortable than ever. Some denture is made by acrylic resin (Plastic) or metal., that some type may have clips (clasps) to help keep the denture in place in your mouth. Depending on where they are, some of these clips may show when you smile or open your mouth

Fixed Dentures

                 If you have lost an entire arch of teeth (top and/or bottom), or are soon to have your remaining teeth removed because they are too unhealthy to save, you may be able to replace them with fixed dentures supported by dental implants. Doctors and patients alike prefer fixed over removable dentures.

Dental Implant

                 A dental implant is a titanium post (like a tooth root) that is surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath the gum line that allows your dentist to mount replacement teeth or a bridge into that area. An implant doesn’t come loose like a denture can. Dental implants also benefit general oral health because they do not have to be anchored to other teeth, like bridges.

1. Fixture
2. Abutment
3. Crown

2. Fixture implant surgery into the suture bone. After 7 days, come back to check the wound condition and cut the silk. After this, it is the time to wait for the implant to stick to the jawbone completely. Depending on the type and features of the implant used, it is usually recommended by the manufacturer that after implantation, the period of time that the implant will hold must be discarded. The projector with the jawbone long how much you can put the teeth.
