Are you missing some teeth and looking for a solution to restore your smile? Dentures can be a great option for those who want to improve their appearance and oral health. However, with so many types of dentures available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one for you.
Dentures are removable dental appliances that can replace missing teeth and restore your smile. There are several types of dentures available, each with its own set of benefits and drawbacks.
One type of denture is the full or complete denture, which replaces all the teeth in either the upper or lower jaw. These dentures rest on the gums and stay in place through suction or an adhesive.
Partial dentures, as their name suggests, only replace some missing teeth. They use clasps to attach to existing natural teeth for support and stability.
Another option is implant-supported dentures. These consist of artificial teeth attached to dental implants placed into the jawbone for maximum stability and functionality.
Flexible partials are a newer type of partial denture made from a lightweight material that conforms to the shape of your mouth comfortably without metal clasps.
Immediate dentures allow you to have replacement teeth immediately after extraction but may require adjustments over time due to changes in gum tissue during healing.
Consulting with your dentist can help determine which type of denture is best suited for your specific needs.
Caring for your dentures is essential to ensuring their longevity and maintaining your oral health. Here are some tips on how to care for your dentures:
