Replacement teeth and gums made from plastic for those who have lost most or all of their teeth

Acrylic dentures are removable appliances used to replace missing teeth. They are made of a solid, plastic material known as acrylic resin, which is custom-made to fit the patient's mouth. They are anchored to remaining teeth using metal clasps or attachments for added stability, supported by the gums and underlying bone.The process of getting acrylic dentures involves several visits to the dentist. During the first visit, the dentist will take impressions of the patient's mouth and create a wax model of the teeth and gums. Once the acrylic denture is finished, the dentist will check the fit and make necessary adjustments. Patients may need to visit the dentist several times in the weeks following the initial fitting to ensure that the denture is comfortable and fits appropriately. Acrylic dentures offer several advantages over other types of dental restorations, including: They are relatively affordable compared to other dental restorations. They are removable, which allows for easy cleaning and maintenance. They can be adjusted or repaired easily if they become damaged. They restore a patient's ability to eat and speak normally. However, acrylic dentures may also have some disadvantages, such as: They may not be as durable as other dental restorations. They may cause some discomfort or irritation in the mouth. They may need to be replaced or adjusted as the gums and bone structure change. They may not provide as natural-looking or comfortable a fit as other types of dental restorations.

Dentures are rows of artificial teeth or dental crowns, that are meant to replace an entire row of teeth, or most of one that has been missing. Dentures are not attached to natural teeth, dentures can come in a variety of materials, and can be made with or without an artificial gum material to anchor the row of crowns. Usually, dentures are removable, and are adhered or the force of suction keeps them in place, or they are attached to a bite plate that goes over the roof of the mouth. But they can also be attached to dental implants, and can be removable or fixed.
