Gebiss is a German noun that translates to 'denture' or 'set of teeth' in English. It refers to the artificial replacement for missing teeth, typically made of acrylic or porcelain and supported by the surrounding tissues.
In dentistry, Gebiss is commonly used to restore the function and aesthetics of a person's natural teeth. Dentures can be full (replacing all teeth) or partial (replacing only a few missing teeth). They are custom-made to fit the individual's mouth and are removable for cleaning and maintenance.
Gebiss plays an important role in improving speech, chewing ability, and overall oral health. It provides support to the facial muscles, preventing sagging and giving a more youthful appearance. Regular dental check-ups and proper care are essential to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of a Gebiss.
