Dentures replace teeth, gums, and surrounding structures when the original ones are removed or damaged. They cover the gaps between the teeth prevent food particles from getting trapped, which may cause gum problems. They also create the appearance of natural teeth to improve the wearer’s look.
Dentures include one or more false teeth embedded in a base made to look like gums or oral tissue. They are usually made of metal or acrylic and worn by hooking onto the existing gum or teeth. Most dentures are custom-made to fit the patient’s jaw and resemble the original teeth.
Cu-sil Dentures have holes cut into the base to make room for natural teeth.
The holes are lined with silicone, which clings around the tooth to improve stability.
They are commonly used as transitional dentures in cases where the healthy teeth are expected to come off, or where the teeth are distributed along one side of the arch.
Coating: Choose dentures with a high-quality glossy coating to prevent food and tartar from clinging to the surface. Look for one with a smooth, waterproof surface to protect against moisture damage. Make sure the protective coating will not rub off over time.
Durability: Look for dentures made of hard, impact-resistant materials. Make sure they do not stain easily and will not fade or discolor.
