Body text size:Dentures
Dentures can be used to treat areas where three or more teeth have been lost, which bridge treatment cannot do. When replacing multiple missing teeth, they are less expensive than implants. In addition, there are many variations in dentures, from those covered by insurance to those that are not covered by private medical care, and they can be made to suit your symptoms.
Features of dentures
Dentures are made by connecting several artificial teeth with artificial resin. The dentures are fixed to healthy surrounding teeth or gums to restore the ability to chew food. This is a treatment method that is mainly suitable for those who have lost three or more teeth. If all teeth are missing, a "complete denture" is inserted, and if some are missing, a "partial denture" is inserted. Unlike bridges and implants, dentures are removable.
