Dentures are composed of two main components, artificial teeth and denture bases. Artificial teeth are used to restore person’s appearance and smile, ability to speak, and chew food. Dental bases are the foundation for artificial teeth and are used to restore soft and hard tissues of oral cavity. An artificial tooth’s biting force is distributed to the denture base and underlying hard and soft tissues. This pressure and adhesion to underlying tissues contribute to complete denture retention.
They are usually advised for elderly patients when there are no teeth or multiple damaged teeth which can’t be restored. Complete dentures enhances the ability to grind food, improves head and neck posture, facial profile ,breathing ability, hence overall well-being.
