Thus allowing a patient to have a set of dentures would not only help in chewing their food, but also serve to improve the facial appearance. People who suffer from lost teeth or several ill effects of the decayed tooth caused by periodontal diseases are often advised by Dentist to replace their teeth either partially or fully by a set of dentures.

Generally, dentures are made of an alloy containing cobalt and chrome which is strong enough to withstand the biting force and wear. Mishandling, damage, broken parts and weak sets are advised to give in a clinic for repair.
