Complete dentures
A complete denture replaces all the lost natural teeth and adjacent tissues in either the upper or lower jaws.
If you have lost all of your natural teeth from disease, tooth decay or injury, then complete dentures
make the ideal choice for replacements.
Loss of all natural permanent teeth can substantially reduce the quality of your life, your self-image
and some basic daily functions. Therefore, high quality complete dentures are worth the investment,
as they restore your self esteem and confidence helping to improve your quality of life.
Complete upper dentures usually stay in position using suction, whereas the complete lower denture
is kept in place by correctly fitting to your gums and muscles. If you choose to have an injection
moulded denture base your denture may fit better.
To achieve this a BPS (Biofunctional Prosthetic System) injection moulded denture would be suitable for you.
When you lose all of your natural teeth
your jaw bone naturally shrinks away
to a lower level
especially in the lower
half of your face. This can cause
a problem for denture stability and
retention especially when eating.
Iviclar Vivadent's denture teeth have
been specifically designed to improve
denture stability in this situation.
Remember it may take a while
to adjust to wearing new dentures. |
