What Are Dentures?
Dentures are false teeth, typically made of acrylic resin or metal framework. They replace missing teeth, restore an aesthetically pleasing smile, and improve eating ability. The process of obtaining dentures generally involves taking an impression of the patient’s mouth, creating a model, and designing the denture to fit the individual’s needs. Dentures come in two types: complete and partial. Full dentures are used when all teeth are missing, and partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain.
Complete dentures can be either conventional or immediate. Traditional dentures take several weeks to make because they require several visits to the dentist while they are being processed. Immediate dentures are made in advance and inserted right after removing any remaining teeth. Both types require periodic adjustment by a professional since jawbone changes over time due to natural aging processes that can affect their fit.
Partial dentures consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored plastic base connected by a metal framework that attaches to your natural teeth with metal clasps or precision attachments that look like natural teeth. Partial dentures may also be called removable bridges since they fill in the space for one or more missing teeth and act as a bridge between healthy, neighboring teeth.
Is Denture a Permanent Solution?
Dentures should not be considered permanent solutions but rather replacements for lost or damaged natural teeth only meant for short-term use until full mouth reconstruction is possible with implants or bridges. It is important to maintain good oral hygiene habits such as brushing twice daily, flossing thoroughly once per day, rinsing with water after meals, visiting your dentist regularly, drinking plenty of water throughout the day, avoiding sticky candy and chewing tobacco or smoking cigarettes if you want your denture to last longer than it normally would before needing replacement or repair work done on it by a certified dental specialist.
Complete & Partial Dentures
Removable dental replacements, or dentures, are a common service that we provide for our clients. We provide both complete dentures (for when all teeth are missing) and partial dentures (for when some teeth are missing).
There are both conventional and immediate dentures. Conventional dentures are made after the teeth have been removed and are placed 8 to 12 weeks after removal. Immediate dentures are made in advance and can be positioned as soon as the teeth are removed.
Patients may need dentures for a variety of reasons. We promise to communicate with you throughout the process in order to provide you with the best dental care possible.
How Can Dentures Benefit You?
Dentures can solve a wide range of problems for patients who have had their teeth removed. Dentures can allow patients to use their mouths more normally again, like they were able to before losing their teeth.
