Removable prosthesis are dentures used to replace missing teeth and can be taken in and out by patients. These prostheses are custom-made by dentists to fit the patient’s oral structure and are typically preferred by patients with complete or partial tooth loss. Removable prostheses can be used without damaging natural teeth and are designed to improve the aesthetic appearance of the smile.
Removable prosthesis requires regular maintenance during use. To prevent irritation or misalignment issues in the gums, it is important to clean the prosthesis after every meal. Food debris that accumulates under the prosthesis can lead to infections or inflammation in the gums over time, so meticulous cleaning is essential. Adjustments may be needed over time to ensure the prosthesis fits perfectly with the oral structure. These regular check-ups not only extend the lifespan of the prosthesis and provide more comfortable use but also help maintain overall oral health.
