Prosthesis

Dental prostheses are artificial teeth used to replace missing teeth. There are two main types:

1. Complete Denture: These are full dentures placed on the gums when all teeth are lost, usually made of acrylic. They are specially designed to adapt to the gums.
2. Partial Denture: These are prostheses used when only some teeth are missing, which attach to existing teeth and replace the missing ones. They are generally made using metal and acrylic materials.

Advantages of Dental Prostheses

Function: Restores the ability to eat and speak.

Aesthetics: Improves appearance by supporting facial contours.

Dental Health: Prevents the remaining teeth from shifting.

Care

Dental prostheses require regular cleaning and maintenance. Cleaning your prostheses daily is important for hygiene.
