What is a dental prosthesis?

Dentures are devices designed to replace natural teeth that have been lost due to injury, disease or tooth extraction. Dentures can be removable or fixed and are designed to mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth.

It is advisable to place a dental prosthesis on certain occasions, such as, for example:

  1. After a tooth extraction: If a tooth has been extracted, a denture may be recommended to replace the missing tooth and restore the appearance and function of the mouth.
  2. After an injury: If an injury to the mouth has resulted in the loss of one or more teeth, a dental prosthesis may be recommended to replace the missing teeth.
  3. To correct the bite or alignment of the teeth: If the bite or alignment of the teeth is not correct, a dental prosthesis may be recommended to help correct these problems.
  4. After dental disease: If you have suffered from dental disease, such as tooth decay or gum disease, that has caused tooth loss, a denture may be recommended to replace the missing teeth.

It is important to note that the fitting of dentures should be performed by a qualified dentist or dental surgeon and that the type of denture to be used will depend on the individual patient's need and the dentist's evaluation.

Types of dental prostheses

There are different types of dental prostheses available to replace missing or damaged teeth. Among the most common dentures, we highlight the following:

Complete Prostheses

Also known as dentures, they are removable prostheses used to replace all upper or lower teeth. They are made of acrylic and are considered complete depending on the number of missing teeth.

Partial Prosthesis

Also often referred to as dental bridges, they are fixed prostheses used to replace one or more missing teeth. They are attached to adjacent teeth and can be made of metal, ceramic or resin.

Implant-supported prostheses

They are fixed prostheses that are attached to dental implants placed on the jaw bone. They are used to replace one or more teeth and can be made of metal, ceramic or resin.

Removable Prosthesis

These are dental prostheses that can be removed and repositioned in the mouth, like dentures. They are made of acrylic and can be partial or complete, depending on the number of missing teeth.

Prosthesis Overdentures

They are removable prostheses that fit over natural teeth or dental implants. They are used to replace several missing teeth and can be made of acrylic, metal or a combination of both.
