Dental Prosthesis | Artificial Teeth

Patients who have experienced extensive tooth loss may struggle to complete even the most ordinary daily tasks such as speaking, biting and chewing. Besides, having gaps from tooth loss can have a disfiguring effect on the face causing aesthetic concerns and lowering self-esteem and confidence.
For these patients, [read more]we may recommend artificial teeth to replace the missing teeth. Usually, these can be complete (replacing all the teeth) or partial (replacing only some of the teeth) and can be removable (meaning the patient can take them out at will) or fixed (meaning patient will not be able to take them out) or a combination of these.
Partial dentures often referred to simply as partials, fill in gaps in patients’ smiles. A gum-coloured base is shaped to fit between teeth and support the replacement teeth. The partial is held in place with clasps connected to remaining dental structures. Full dentures are similarly composed by attaching a row of replacement teeth to a gum-coloured base. Instead of attaching to healthy teeth, the full denture is moulded to fit comfortably against the gums where it is stabilized through natural suction. Complete dentures can also be supported by dental implants.
The fixed prostheses are usually dental bridges supported by the surviving natural teeth or dental implants, or implant-supported crowns. [/read]

Losing your teeth has serious emotional effects besides physical difficulties. Complete and partial dentures can restore your smile and restore your confidence and quality of life. [read more]

DENTURES FOR MISSING TEETH

Kisumu Dental Center dentist, Dr Odoyo carefully designs dentures that fit comfortably and securely in your mouth. Advances in materials and technology ensure that today’s cosmetic dentures look natural, allowing you to eat, speak and smile with confidence. We also offer flexible dentures.
Full dentures are used to replace all of the upper or lower teeth, while partial dentures are made to fill gaps in the smile. Dentures can either be removable or fixed. Fixed dentures are secured in place with dental implants.

IMPLANT-SECURED DENTURES
When possible, Dr Odoyo prefers to use implant secured dentures for patients with multiple missing teeth. While implant-supported dentures require a significant investment initially, the long term benefits help offset financial concerns.

Benefits of Implant-secured Dentures:

• No risk of slippage
• Better fit and retention
• Helps to maintain bone structure
• Many existing dentures can be converted into an implant-supported denture
• Eat any foods with confidence

IMPROVED FACIAL APPEARANCE

The teeth play an important role in the appearance of the face and people who are missing teeth often look older than they are. Without a healthy tooth structure, the lips and cheek will sag or droop. Replacing teeth can have a significant effect on the appearance of a patient. In addition, once a patient has lost a tooth, the bone structure begins to deteriorate. Dental implants help to retain the bone structure and avoid unwanted problems in the future.
