FULL AND PARTIAL DENTURES
Full dentures replace all of your upper, lower, or sometimes both sets of teeth. They are fitted into an acrylic base that is crafted to look like your gums. An upper denture features a plate, which covers the roof of your mouth, while the lower denture is horseshoe-shaped and rests securely on the gum and bone tissues.
Dentures can either replace all of your teeth or only some of your teeth. Dentures that replace all of your teeth are known as complete dentures while ones that replace some are known as partial dentures. Partial dentures fill in the gaps of any missing teeth while anchoring to remaining teeth. They are attached to a metal frame that is connected to your natural teeth and are used to fill in where permanent teeth have been removed.
WHY CONSIDER DENTURES?
Not only do dentures improve the appearance of a smile with many missing teeth, but they also help retain the shape of your face by supporting the structures around the cheeks and lips. Additional reasons one might consider dentures include:
- Dentures make it possible to eat foods that require chewing. You will be able to keep your diet the same - ensuring that you are properly nourished.
- Dentures are also a viable solution to replace teeth that are causing serious pain and oral health issues -- such as those with rotted roots or severe damage.
- Dentures can help eliminate speaking issues such as pronunciation and slurring due to a lack of teeth.
- Dentures are available in natural-looking porcelain or plastic materials that create a natural-looking smile.
- Dentures can restore or even enhance your appearance and be virtually undetectable.
- Taking care of your dentures is done similarly to your natural teeth. Brush your dentures daily and use a gentle cleanser to clean them.
