Removable Prosthesis

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.

Removable Prosthetic Tooth

Removable dentures offer an important solution for patients with tooth loss. It is especially preferred in elderly patients or in cases of complete tooth loss. These prostheses can be applied for both lower jaw and upper jaw. Removable denture prices may vary depending on the material used, the application method and the design of the prosthesis. In addition, depending on the needs of the patient, dentures are also available with hooked teeth or snap options.

There are various types of removable dentures. Implant-retained dentures are supported by implants, providing a more secure grip. Precision-retained dentures, on the other hand, offer an aesthetically more natural appearance. These types of dentures provide more comfort to their users as they do not put pressure on the gums or existing teeth. Removable prostheses prepared according to the palate structure increase the fit and ease of use of the prosthesis.

The application details are as follows:

First, the dentist analyzes the oral structure and creates a suitable plan for removable dentures.
Oral impressions are taken and a customized prosthesis is prepared in the laboratory.
The denture is adjusted according to the patient’s upper and lower jaw structure and placed by the dentist.

Among these prosthetic teeth, there are also hooked tooth models developed for patients to use more easily in their daily lives. This type of prosthesis especially helps to minimize the risk of the prosthesis slipping.

Types of Removable Dentures

The types of removable prosthetic teeth may vary according to the needs and oral structure of patients with tooth loss. Dental models are customized depending on the number and location of the patient’s missing teeth. For example, partial dentures are removable dentures that replace several missing teeth and are attached to the remaining teeth. These models, which can be applied especially as upper jaw and lower jaw prostheses, are designed in accordance with the area of tooth loss.

One of the most commonly used removable dentures is partial dentures. Such prostheses replace missing teeth both aesthetically and functionally. These prostheses, which are applied within the scope of prosthetic dental treatment, protect oral health and support the natural appearance of the teeth. In cases where tooth loss is large, implant-supported prostheses are more preferred. Since these prostheses are fixed with implants, they offer a more robust and reliable solution to the users.

Depending on factors such as the patient’s tooth deficiency, age and oral structure, the most appropriate tooth models are selected and the treatment plan is applied individually.
