Removable Dentures

Removable Dentures (Deflex Unbreakable Dentures)

Unbreakable deflex dentures are the thermoplastic-made form of the pink palate portion. Since base metal is not used in these dentures, they are very successful aesthetically. Since they are light, permeable and transparent pink, they meet patient expectations quite well. Deflex unbreakable dentures never break when they are dropped by the patient and compressed by chewing. They need to be bended like bending a wire again and again to break.

Deflex Temporary Dentures

It is very easy and aesthetic to solve temporary problems with deflex unbreakable dentures.

Removable dentures are divided into 3 groups

Total Dentures

If the patient lost all the teeth in his/her mouth, total dentures should be done In recent years, the total dentures are not the only chance for toothless mouths anymore. Implants installed in the jawbone and dentures prepared with the support of them now give a feeling to the patients such as chewing with their natural teeth and this makes the dentures frequently preferred.

Partial Dentures

They are dentures which are attached to the fixed healthy teeth with the help of special precision attachments with the aim of replacing the missing teeth in the mouth, which artificially made teeth are put in place of your missing teeth and which are removable by the patient.

Precision Attachment (Snap) Dentures

They are also applied to partially toothless mouths. The system used instead of the metal parts which are used to keep the dentures stable and called clasp is called precision attachment. They have a more aesthetic appearance than partial dentures.

Cleaning of the Dentures

Cleaning of removable dentures is performed with some cleaning agents. Dentures are cleaned through effervescent dental tablet solved in water. If there is no denture cleaning agent is available, the dentures may be cleaned with a toothbrush or denture brush. Besides these, partial removable dentures may be taken out of the mouth and after cleaning the teeth in the mouth, the dentures are cleaned and replaced into their locations. However, in total dentures, it is sufficient for the patient to take out the dentures from his/her mouth and cleanse his/her mouth.
