Dental clasp denture: how does it work and why is it needed?

A denture clasp is a dental structure that helps restore dentition and improve chewing function. It is called a “clasp” because it consists of a metal arch that wraps around the teeth and supports the replacement of lost teeth.

Dental clasp prosthesis can be used to replace one or more teeth, as well as to restore dentition. It consists of several parts: a metal arch, fastening elements (hooks) that secure the prosthesis to adjacent teeth, and replaceable dental crowns.

Dental clasp dentures are a long-term solution for people who have lost one or more teeth. It helps restore smile aesthetics, improve chewing function and prevent further oral health problems.

In general, a denture clasp is a good option for restoring dentition and improving chewing function. However, before deciding to install, you should consult with a specialist and consider all possible options.
