Denturism
Denturism is a profession dedicated to the fabrication, adjustment, and maintenance of dental prostheses, offering a radiant smile and increased functionality to individuals who have lost their teeth.
With their expertise, denturists create custom partial or complete dental prostheses that harmoniously adapt to the mouth, allowing patients to regain not only their dental aesthetics but also efficient chewing function for an improved quality of life.
Our denturist is the ideal person to offer you optimal comfort and effectively address issues related to missing teeth through removable prostheses.
Partial prosthesis
The partial denture is a suitable solution for replacing a few missing teeth while preserving the surrounding natural teeth. It consists of a base made of acrylic or metal, customized to fit the shape of the mouth, and incorporates harmoniously designed artificial teeth. Metal clasps are attached to the existing teeth to ensure the stability of the prosthesis during use.
This option provides natural aesthetics while restoring chewing function, thus enhancing the patient’s confidence and well-being. Thanks to its versatility, the partial denture is a practical solution for those who have lost some teeth.
Complete prosthesis
The complete denture, also known as a “denture”, is a removable solution used to replace all missing teeth in a dental arch. Made of acrylic, this prosthesis rests on the gums and can be held in place by suction or with the help of adhesive products. It is custom-designed to fit comfortably in the patient’s mouth, offering a natural appearance and restored chewing function.
Complete dentures are a common option for those who have lost all their teeth, thereby restoring an aesthetic smile and contributing to improving quality of life by restoring the ability to eat and speak.
Relining and rebasing
Relining involves adding acrylic or a specifically designed product inside the denture to create “cushion” that fills the space between the soft tissues and the denture. This allows the denture to regain stability and eliminates pain caused by abnormal denture movements.
Rebasing, on the other hand, is a technique aimed at completely replacing the pink acrylic component of the denture while retaining the teeth from the old denture.
Repair
It is possible to repair and modify an existing dental prosthesis. Note that in many cases, certain repairs can be made on the same day.
It is important to know that you should never attempt to repair your dentures yourself, as this could worsen the situation and sometimes even make the repair impossible.
