Partial dentures
Partial dentures are removable devices designed to replace one or several missing teeth, attaching to the remaining natural teeth with metal clasps or precision connectors. They are an effective solution for restoring chewing function and improving dental aesthetics without the need for surgery.
complete dentures
Complete dentures, also known as full dentures, are used when all natural teeth have been lost in a dental arch (upper or lower). These dentures rest directly on the gums and underlying bone and are designed to provide a natural appearance and restore the ability to chew and speak properly.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures are an advanced option that combines dental implants with dentures. Dental implants, which are artificial titanium roots, are surgically inserted into the jawbone. These dentures can be fixed or removable and offer greater stability and comfort compared to conventional dentures, significantly improving function and aesthetics.

Benefits of Prosthodontics
Restoration of Chewing Function
Dental prostheses allow patients to chew and eat properly, improving digestion and nutrition by enabling a complete and balanced diet.
Improvement of Facial Aesthetics
Replacing missing teeth helps maintain facial structure, avoiding the sunken appearance that can occur when teeth are missing and providing a more attractive and natural smile.
Improvement of Speech
Dental prostheses help correct pronunciation problems caused by missing teeth, allowing for clearer and more confident speech.
Increased Confidence and Self-Esteem
Having a complete and functional smile enhances self-confidence and self-esteem, positively impacting social and professional interactions.
Prevention of Teeth Shifting
Replacing missing teeth with prostheses prevents adjacent teeth from shifting or tilting into the empty space, maintaining proper dental alignment.
Preservation of Jawbone
In the case of implant-supported dentures, dental implants help preserve the jawbone, preventing bone resorption that occurs after tooth loss.
