The different types of dentures available
There are several types of dentures, depending on the number of teeth to be replaced and the condition of your mouth. Here is an overview of the most common options:
- Full dentures: used when all the teeth in an arch (upper or lower) are missing. They rest directly on the gums.
- Partial dentures: These attach to the remaining natural teeth using discreet clasps or attachments. They replace several teeth located in different places on the dental arch, depending on your needs.
Each denture is custom-made in a laboratory using precise impressions. The goal is to ensure a comfortable fit and a natural appearance.
A gradual and personalized approach
The manufacture of a denture generally requires several appointments. Here are the main steps in the process:
- Evaluation and impression taking;
- Choice of materials and aesthetic characteristics (shape, color, etc.);
- Fabrication of the denture in the laboratory;
- Trial fitting to validate the fit and appearance;
- Final delivery of the denture, with care instructions.
