Dentures
A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. There are two types of dentures available, partial and complete dentures. Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain, while complete dentures are used to completely replace all of the teeth. Dentures are made to resemble your natural teeth, so there should be no noticeable change to your appearance. In fact, dentures may even improve your smile!
Complete Dentures – This restoration method is used to restore your smile and mouth function if all your teeth have been lost. The dentures are custom created to resemble natural teeth and are positioned into a patientʼs mouth to take the place of missing natural teeth. Complete dentures are removable and may require adjustments in order to create a proper fit.
Partial Dentures – A removable partial denture is used when one or more natural teeth still remain in the upper or lower jaw. It consists of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored acrylic base. A fixed partial denture acts the same as a complete removable denture, but it is cemented in place using the adjacent teeth for support. A partial denture can fill the space created by missing teeth, as well as create a support for remaining teeth to prevent shifting.
Dentures can help restore chewing ability, aesthetics by providing lip and cheek support, and improve speech. Daily cleaning is recommended for dentures. Plague and tartar can build up on false teeth, just as on natural teeth.
