Fixing and fitting removable dentures.

Fixing and fitting removable dentures refers to the process of creating, adjusting, and securely placing dentures in a patient’s mouth to replace missing teeth. These dentures can be removed by the patient as needed and are designed to restore functionality, improve aesthetics, and maintain oral health.

 

Key Aspects:

  1. Fixing Dentures:

    • Involves preparing the mouth and designing the dentures to ensure they fit comfortably and stay in place without causing irritation or discomfort.
    • Dentures are “fixed” in terms of their design to ensure they align properly with the gums and remaining teeth.
  2. Fitting Dentures:

    • Refers to placing the dentures in the patient’s mouth and making adjustments for a snug, functional, and comfortable fit.
    • Ensures the dentures do not move excessively during eating or speaking.

Types of Removable Dentures:

  • Complete Dentures: Replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw.
  • Partial Dentures: Replace a few missing teeth and are supported by the remaining natural teeth.

Fixing and fitting involve collaboration between the dentist and the patient to ensure the dentures meet functional and cosmetic needs.

Removable dentures are prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth. They can be taken out and reinserted into the mouth and are typically made of acrylic, metal, or a combination of materials.

 

 

The process usually takes several weeks to months, depending on the complexity of the case. It involves consultations, impressions, trials, adjustments, and the final fitting.

 

 

Modern dentures are designed for comfort and functionality, but it may take some time for patients to get used to wearing them. Adjustments can be made to improve comfort.
