Adding a denture tooth to a partial denture is necessary to replace an extracted or decoronated tooth, maintaining function. This procedure involves fabricating and attaching a new tooth to the existing partial denture using materials like acrylic or porcelain. Proper alignment ensures the restoration remains functional and aesthetically pleasing, improving chewing efficiency and preventing shifting of adjacent teeth. Adding teeth is particularly useful for restoring occlusion and preventing complications such as malocclusion or gum irritation.
Restoring chewing efficiency and preventing shifting of adjacent teeth improves overall function, enabling the patient to eat, speak, and smile confidently. By addressing missing or damaged teeth, the procedure prevents complications such as displacement or discomfort, ensuring the prosthesis remains stable and comfortable. Additionally, it enhances the durability of the restoration, ensuring it remains functional and aesthetically pleasing over time. By addressing retention issues, the procedure prevents complications such as discomfort or failure, ensuring long-term success.
Ensure proper alignment and occlusion to avoid premature wear or discomfort. Use advanced bonding techniques to ensure a strong and durable bond, reducing the risk of debonding or failure. Verify the fit and margins of the new tooth to ensure it does not interfere with the patient’s bite or cause discomfort. Educate the patient on proper care and maintenance of the denture, emphasizing the importance of avoiding hard or sticky foods that could damage it.
