However, there are many approaches and philosophies in dentistry and your dentist / specialist will be able to advise you on what he believes to be the most appropriate for your oral health. Do not hesitate to consult a dentist / specialist for more information.

Full dentures

Full dentures

  • They are used for the replacement of all teeth (14) of a dental arch (upper or lower jaw).
  • They cover a good part of the gingiva. Full dentures for the upper jaw also cover the palate and lay against it.
  • They are held in place by suction (created by saliva accumulating between the dentures and the gingiva).

Partial dentures

Partial dentures

There are 2 types of prostheses; full and partial dentures. They are all made in a laboratory, using a mould made from impressions of your teeth.

Partial dentures (or removable partial dentures) are retained by clasps or precision attachments that connect to adjacent healthy teeth. They replace one or more teeth and must be removed for the night or for cleaning them.

They may be used when the adjacent teeth are not strong enough to withstand a bridge or when many teeth are missing.

Categories of dental prostheses

Categories of dental prostheses

The artificial teeth of a prosthesis are mounted using an articulator, i. e. a mechanical device that supports the models of the upper and lower jaws and simulates the movements of the mouth. Depending on the type of articulator used by the denturist, prostheses can be classified into different categories.
