Dentures

When a person has missing teeth, he or she may experience a variety of problems. The person may become less confident with his or her smile and have difficulty speaking or eating certain foods.
Removable dentures are replacements for missing teeth that can be taken out and put back into your mouth. While dentures take some getting used to and will never feel exactly the same as one’s natural teeth, today’s dentures are natural-looking and more comfortable than ever.

Types of Dentures

There are two main types of dentures: Full Dentures and Partial Dentures. A dentist will help you choose the type of denture that’s best for you based on whether some or all of your teeth are going to be replaced and the cost involved.

Why do you Wear Dentures?

Dentures not only improve the appearance of a smile that has multiple missing teeth, but they also keep the structure of the mouth sound by supporting the structures around the cheeks and lips. Dentures also make it possible to eat foods that require chewing, making it possible to keep your diet the same and ensure that you are properly nourished. Lastly, dentures are a viable solution to replace teeth that are causing serious pain and oral health issues, such as those with rotted roots or severe damage. Having dentures fitted means that troublesome teeth are eliminated and replaced with a strong and beautiful alternative.

What are the different types of dentures?

• Complete or Full Dentures: Complete dentures are made of a plastic base that is collared in order to replicate gum tissue and supports a full set of plastic or porcelain teeth.
• Partial Dentures : Partial dentures can either be made with a plastic base or a metal framework that supports the number of teeth that need to be replaced.
