Dentures

Dentures are medical devices specially used to replace missing teeth. They are similar to natural teeth both in shape and size. These dentures are supported by the gums. The goal is that they are as similar as possible to the other teeth and replace

When creating a false teeth, the aesthetics, but also the functionality, should be considered. The dentures should help with proper chewing and speaking. Occlusion and adaptability are also key factors for the false teeth. The person should be able to close the mouth, and the dental arches should come together effortlessly and smoothly. This is the principle of an ideal dental prosthesis. For this reason, they are based on moulds from the patient’s mouth and are tested and adjusted if necessary.

False teeth

As its name suggests, these prostheses can be removed from the mouth and be placed again by the patient. They are supported by the gum and, in some cases, the teeth. In the removable dentures category, there are acrylic and light alloy dentures. In some cases, the dentures can be supported by dental implants.

The thermoplastics used by Vita Centre Clinic are exclusively selected among materials for medical use. They are safe and biocompatible, including resins free of monomers.

Many patients who are allergic to monomers used in conventional prostheses are able to use flexible dentures as their first prosthesis. The removable and flexible false teeth from Vita Centre have their own features, therefore, some of them are more flexible than others. These dentures can be transparent or opaque. The objective is to find the best solution for each patient.

The crown is used to artificially coat natural teeth that have been destroyed by tooth decay, fractured, or are fragile due to a root canal treatment. It can be used in a tooth root if it is healthy.
