There are two kinds of dentures, partial and complete. Complete dentures are employed when all the teeth have been lost, whereas partial dentures can be used in cases where some natural teeth remain. A partial denture not only fills in the gaps created by missing teeth but also stops others from shifting.

A complete denture could be one of two types "conventional" or "immediate." A conventional denture is created after the teeth are removed, and the gingival tissue is healed. During this period, the patient will be without teeth. Immediate dentures are prepared before the time of removal and are immediately put in place following the removal of teeth to prevent the patient from being without teeth throughout recovery. Adjustments need to be made when the tissues begin to shrink after healing.

Dentures are incredibly durable and can last a long time; however, they may need to be replaced, repaired, or adjusted due to normal wear and tear.

Bone grafting is a common procedure for patients who require dental implants. Even in the case that your tooth is lost one day, and then visits us the next day, there's always an opportunity that an implant made from bone could be required. The longer you put off seeing a dentist, the more loss of bone is experienced and the greater chances of needing bone grafting.

Why Wear Dentures?

Dentures do not just enhance how a smile appears, with missing teeth in multiple places. However, they also help preserve the mouth's structure healthy by supporting the structure around the lips and cheeks. Dentures also allow you to eat food items that require chewing, which will enable you to keep your diet the same and ensure you're getting the proper nutrition. Additionally, dentures can be an option for replacing teeth that cause severe discomfort and health problems, for example, those with decayed roots or severe damage. Dentures mean teeth causing issues are removed and replaced with a durable and attractive alternative.

What does getting dentures involve?

Dentures are a process that will require several appointments, generally in weeks. High-quality impressions (molds) and measurements are taken before being utilized to design your customized denture. Several "try-in" appointments may be needed to ensure that the denture is in the right shape, color, and fit. When you are ready, the dentist will modify and fit the final denture to ensure an ideal and comfortable fitting.

Make sure to remove your dentures before going to bed to prevent damaging them by slipping them out of their sockets and giving your gums a chance to rest. Immerse your dentures in warm yet not boiling water to stop them from drying out and becoming distorted. Make sure to use a denture-soaking solution when your dentures do not contain metal components because the answer may tarnish the metal.

There is a normal tendency to notice an increase in levels of saliva production, some discomfort, and possibly chewing and speech difficulties. Still, it will ease as your tissues and muscles become accustomed to your new dentures.
