Dentures are removable dental appliances that are used to replace missing teeth and improve the appearance of the smile. There are two main types of dentures: complete dentures and partial dentures.

Complete dentures are used when all of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing. Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain in the jaw. The dentures are custom-made to fit the individual patient's mouth and can be made of various materials, such as acrylic resin or porcelain.

The process of getting dentures typically involves several appointments with a dentist or prosthodontist, and may include the following step

• Evaluation and preparation: The dentist will evaluate the patient's oral health and determine the best type of denture for their needs. If necessary, any remaining teeth may need to be removed before dentures can be placed.
• Impression-making: The dentist will take impressions of the patient's mouth to create a mold for the dentures. This ensures a precise fit for the dentures.
• Wax try-in: The dentist will create a wax model of the dentures to allow the patient to try them on and make adjustments before the final dentures are made.
• Final fitting: Once the dentures are complete, the dentist will fit them to the patient's mouth and make any necessary adjustments.
• Post-placement care: The patient will be instructed on how to care for their dentures, including how to clean them and how to properly store them when not in use.

It is important for denture wearers to maintain good oral hygiene and schedule regular dental check-ups to ensure the dentures fit properly and to detect any potential issues early on. Over time, dentures may need to be adjusted or replaced to ensure they continue to fit properly and provide optimal function and appearance.
