Gummy dentures are a type of dental prosthetic designed for individuals who have lost their natural teeth. They are made from materials like acrylic or resin and are custom-fitted to the wearer’s mouth. These dentures help restore the appearance of a full set of teeth and improve functionality, allowing for better chewing and speaking. Unlike traditional dentures, gummy dentures may have a softer, more flexible base, which can enhance comfort. They are often recommended for those with sensitive gums or those who have experienced bone loss in the jaw. Regular check-ups with a dentist are essential to ensure proper fit and maintenance.
