What is a Fixed Denture Set

A fixed denture set consists of brackets connecting artificial teeth with synthetic gums, and this structure is fixed to the gum in the patient’s mouth. The idea of a fixed denture set is based on following a method of dental implantation in the jaw cavity and linking them with gum tissues so that the set is well fixed in the jawbones and does not move when any variables or pressures occur in the mouth. This fixture is permanently placed in the gaps resulting from the extraction and falling of teeth and cannot be removed at any time after the treating doctor has fixed it in the clinic.

In case of any damage to it or exposure to any pressures that negatively affected it, it is also necessary to resort to it so that the doctor can try to solve these problems. Generally, the removal method is not easy and is done by chemical substances causing pain to the patient.
