Fixed dentures, as their name suggests, are designed for permanent use and are attached to adjacent teeth or to implants implanted in the jaw. These types of dentures include crowns and bridges: Cover: Used to strengthen and protect weak or damaged teeth. A crown covers the surface of the tooth and increases its resistance to chewing pressures. Bridge: Used to fill the space for one or more missing teeth and is attached to adjacent teeth.Removable Dentures
Removable dentures are easily removable and replaceable and come in the form of complete or partial dentures: Complete dentures: Used to replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw and help people who have lost all their teeth. Partial dentures: Used to fill in the gaps between a few missing teeth and are attached to natural teeth using metal clips.Implant-based dentures
Implant-based dentures are mounted on implant bases that are surgically implanted into the jawbone. This type of denture is very popular due to its high stability and similarity to natural teeth and is suitable for people who have enough bone in their jaw.
