Though many advances have been made in the field of dentistry, loss of teeth is still an ongoing problem. Currently, there are a number of options available for people who have lost their teeth. One of the most versatile and affordable is a set of removable dentures.

Standard cosmetic Full Dentures

Standard full dentures are ones that comprise a full set of upper and lower teeth. Cosmetic Dentures, as you can imagine, are made to look as natural as possible. This type of denture uses suction to stay in place. They are made of a pliable material which makes suction easy. However, it is for this reason that standard full dentures require routine visits to the dentist. Being pliable, the dentures are susceptible to shrinkage, thus creating an ill-fitting prosthetic that will result in the atrophy of the jawbone.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are dentures that replace only a limited number of teeth, and not an entire set. Partial dentures are a single piece fitting that is supported by the remaining teeth and gums. They are much more secure than standard full dentures, and are more comfortable.

Procedure of Denture

If you’ve reached a point where your dentist has explained that dentures are your best option, it’s really good to know what happens next.

Your dentist may choose to make immediate dentures depending on your mouth. After teeth are extracted, the soft, sensitive parts of your mouth will be sore and they can take a little while to heal and settle down. Immediate or same day dentures can be worn while the healing takes place.

Dentist will take a preliminary impression of your mouth. This gives your dentist an exact copy of your mouth that he/she can build your new dentures from.

Think of picking your dentures as like trying on new clothes. You’ll want them to look just like your natural teeth but some will suit you better than others. With help from your dentist you can decide which tooth shapes, sizes and colours fit your mouth and look right for you.
