Dentures & Bridges

Dentures & Bridges সম্পর্কে

Dentures and bridges are two traditional approaches to replacing missing teeth without surgery. A denture is a removable appliance, either partial or complete, made from an acrylic or flexible base with artificial teeth, designed to rest on the gums and, in the upper jaw, part of the palate; it is held in place by suction, clasps, or adhesive and can be taken out for cleaning. A bridge, by contrast, is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap, typically using crowns cemented over the supporting teeth. Patients choose these options based on the number of missing teeth, the condition of remaining teeth, bone health, and budget, since both are generally less invasive and more affordable than implant-based alternatives. Fitting involves impressions or digital scans, laboratory fabrication, and adjustment visits to ensure comfort and a natural bite. Indian dental laboratories often use CAD/CAM technology to fabricate precise, well-fitting dentures and bridges, and many clinics can complete design, fabrication, and fitting within a single extended visit for international patients.
