Complete Denture
A complete denture is a removable appliance fabricated for people who have lost all their teeth and are not interested in undergoing implant treatment. It is a removable prosthesis that needs to be removed at night time and placed in water every day. There are various kinds of materials and techniques available in complete dental dentures like BPS dentures, Unbreakable flexible dentures and many more. A Prosthodontist is a person who fabricates dentures and we have a highly experienced specialists in our hospital who can really improve your aesthetics (looks) phonetics (speech) and quality of life. We assure you that with a good set of dental dentures one can even eat hard things like almonds and nuts. It generally takes 7 to 10 days and 4 to 5 appointments for fabricating a good dental denture. In cases where there are time constraints, we can also fabricate them within two or three working days while maintaining the same quality and standards.
Flexible Dentures
With the latest developments in material science, gone are the days when there were very few hard materials available for fabricating dentures, the latest addition in this field is flexible dentures. The advantage of this material is its flexibility along with rigidity and strength which can be used very easily even in complex cases. The biggest advantage is there are no metal clips that are generally found in a regular RPD, it is highly cosmetic and specially used in distal extension cases where there is no possibility of placing the implant, one can go ahead with these flexible removable partial dentures.
Cast Partial Denture
A cast partial denture is a partial denture that is made of metal and acrylic. It is mainly advised when there are few missing teeth and the teeth which are present have good bony support. It takes approximately 10 days to fabricate a cast partial denture the main advantage when compared to a regular partial denture is that it gets support not only from the tissues but also from the teeth. Hence, the patient can apply more pressure while chewing its tooth and tissue-supported prosthesis.
Crown and Bridge (fixed partial denture)
A single Cap over a tooth is called a crown and more than one Crown is called a bridge. with teeth present on either side of the missing teeth one can fabricate a fixed partial denture or better known as a bridge by taking support of the adjacent teeth. Where a single Crown is used over root canal-treated teeth and a bridge is made to replace a missing tooth.
There are various materials for fabricating a crown or a bridge starting from full metal crowns to porcelain fused metal crowns to metal-free zirconia and full ceramic restorations.
FAQ's
What are the advantages of Metal Free Crown and Bridge?
Metal which generally contains nickel chromium cobalt and many other base metals may cause allergy leading to redness in the gum area. in long term they release corrosion products which form a black line near the gums. Metal conducts heat and electricity to the structures below it which may cause thermal damage to the pulp of the underlying tooth leading to pain and swelling. When compared to metal free restorations they are not highly aesthetic as they are not transparent in conducting light through them. Where as metal free restorations are highly aesthetics As they conduct light through them. They can be used in both anterior and posterior teeth They also come with Limited period warranty And depending on the warranty their prices changes.
What are Digital Impressions?
Gone are the days when the dentist used to mix not so yummy impressions and used to fill your mouth with It . keeping your comfort in mind we have the most advanced digital impressions with CEREC Omnicam scanners. These are highly accurate scanners with precision up to 25 µm and absolute comfort to the patient.
What are the options of replacing the missing tooth after removal?
There are various options once tooth is removed from simple removable partial denture to dental crown and bridge to implants. Treatment options mainly depend on the condition of the surrounding structures and financial constraints. Generally, one is advised to replace the extracted teeth after one month of healing.
What are the consequences if I don’t replace the extracted tooth?
If a person fails to replace the missing tooth then there are high chances the adjacent tooth may collapse leading to space closure or the opposing tooth may supra erupt or the bite may collapse leading to severe TMJ joint issues over the long run.
