Removable dentures are an artificial device that is installed in the mouth to replace missing or damaged teeth, and is temporarily removed for cleaning and maintenance. These fixtures consist of a plastic base that is designed to fit the shape of the mouth and gums, and is securely fixed using clips or metal wires.
Removable dentures are available in several types, including partial dentures, which replace one or more teeth, and complete dentures, which replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, or both.
Removable dentures are among the most popular options to replace missing teeth, as they provide comfort and a natural appearance, and help restore self-confidence. These dentures are removable, which makes them easier to care for and maintain, and the patient can remove them for a good cleaning of the teeth and gums.
However, you should be aware that removable dentures need a period of adjustment, as they can cause some awkwardness at first and make talking and chewing more difficult. These fixtures require periodic care and maintenance, as they must be cleaned well with brush, toothpaste, and medical floss, and visit the dentist on a regular basis for examination and maintenance. The case must be carefully evaluated by the specialist dentist to determine whether removable dental fixtures are the best option for the patient’s condition.
