Total Denture

 A total denture substitutes for all the upper and/or lower jaw teeth. Artificial teeth are supported in a pink acrylic plate that supports the gums and the bone underlying them. A total denture can be a one-way street, when the teeth have been missing for a long time, the jaw bone has been largely atrophied and there are also severe general health problems due to the advanced age of the patient. Consequently, implant placement is problematic. Total dentures can also be supported, for better restraint and less expansion on the palate, in a small number of implants or / and in the natural teeth roots.
