Dentures
Dentures offer effective solutions for replacing missing teeth, whether all of them or just part of them. At Clinique dentaire Julien & Marin, we offer full and partial dentures tailored to your specific needs to restore your smile and improve your quality of life.
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures, commonly called dentures, are designed to replace all the teeth in a jaw, whether upper or lower. They are an ideal solution when all natural teeth are lost. Full dentures are removable, allowing patients to take them out for cleaning or at night. They are held in place mainly by suction or, for greater stability, by dental implants.
Design and Materials
Full dentures are made from acrylic resin, which closely mimics the appearance of natural teeth. Teeth are carefully reproduced to ensure efficient chewing function and a harmonious aesthetic appearance. The gums are also made of pink acrylic, completing the natural appearance of the smile. The manufacture of these prostheses involves precise measurements and dental impressions to ensure a perfect, comfortable fit.
Care and Hygiene
To avoid plaque and tartar build-up, it's crucial to clean complete dentures regularly. Remove them and brush them with an ordinary toothbrush or one specially designed for dentures. Thorough cleaning helps maintain good oral hygiene and prolong the life of dentures.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are used when some teeth are missing, but the patient still retains some natural teeth. They replace one or more missing teeth while preserving the remaining ones. This type of prosthesis not only helps to improve mastication, phonetics and aesthetics, but also avoids the problems associated with natural teeth moving into empty spaces.
Types of Partial Dentures
- Acrylic Partial Denture: Made entirely of plastic, this denture is generally more economical. It may be a good choice for patients with temporary needs or for those looking for a more affordable solution.
- Metal Partial Denture: Composed of a combination of plastic for the teeth and gums, and an alloy of chromium and cobalt for the clasps, this denture is often preferred for its comfort, durability and stability. Metal clasps ensure a more secure fit and avoid excessive pressure on oral tissues.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Full or partial dentures can also be attached to dental implants. These artificial roots are made of titanium and inserted directly into the jawbone. After a process of healing and integration with the bone, implants can effectively support a prosthesis. A variable number of implants may be required, depending on the type of prosthesis.
