Complete dentures are removable prostheses that are designed and fashioned to imitate all the missing tissues and teeth in an entire upper, lower or both arch of the mouth. They are supported by both soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity and represent the traditional method of restoring total tooth loss to regain its functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Indications
- Total Edentulism : Total loss of natural teeth in either the maxilla (or upper jaw) or mandible (or lower jaw).
- Unrestorable Dentition : Cases with the limited remaining natural teeth too diseased, too damaged or too mobile as to be retained; they fall out.
- Cost and Surgical Limitations : For patients unable to undergo implant surgery due to medical conditions or severe bone loss, or for those seeking the most affordable full-mouth restoration treatment.
Effects
- Each Replaced Tooth and Underlying Gum Structure: These are restored to make the lost teeth and the natural bottom gum structure look natural, helping to keep the lips and cheeks in place and facilitating clear speech and pronunciation.
- Restored Mastication (Chewing): This enables the patient to chew and grind food, which is vital for maintaining proper nutrition and digestion, although the chewing capability is significantly less than that of natural teeth or implants.
- Jaw Joint Stabilisation : Dentures that replace the lost height between the upper and lower jaws (vertical dimension) can help stabilise the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) and eliminate potential joint problems caused by tooth loss.
