Teeth loss may cause facial muscles to droop, which can make a person seem older than they are. If you've lost teeth due to cavities, oral disease, or an accident, getting replacements is crucial to your dental health and the beauty of your smile but the type of dentures can help.
"Some tortures are physical, and some are mental, but the one that is both is dental."
Ogden Nash.
One of the most effective and long-term treatment options is getting Dentures. Dentures may make your lips, cheeks, and chin seem fuller. The most significant upside is by design & function; dentures appear just like your natural teeth. There's a chance that getting dentures will make your smile even more attractive. Let's explore which type of dentures may fit and serve you properly.
Dentures are removable dental prosthetics that may fill gaps left by lost teeth. Because the teeth on each side of the hole have to compensate for the missing one, they may grow at an angle and make chewing and speaking difficult. Dentures' replacement teeth may be acrylic (plastic), nylon, or metal and are detachable. They are custom-made to fit securely over your gums and replace your missing teeth.
Understanding the similarities and differences between the many denture options is the best method for settling on a choice. Serving that purpose, here is some information on the available denture options.
Complete Dentures
Conventional and immediate dentures are the two types of complete dentures available today. Traditional dentures are not of appropriate fit until the gums have had time to recover and change form. After the dentist extracts your teeth and the gum tissue has begun to heal, a conventional denture usually takes eight to twelve weeks for permanent fixing.
Partial Dentures
If you are missing some upper or lower teeth, a removable appliance called a partial denture might be the solution. A partial denture serves double duty by both concealing the gaps produced by lost teeth and preventing the shifting of adjacent teeth.
This type of denture sits on a pink foundation and has a metal framework joinery. It's clipped on, so taking it off is a breeze. Sometimes the clips may be constructed out of gum or tooth-colored substance, albeit they are less reliable than metal clips due to their fragility.
Instead of using clasps to secure neighboring crowns, a partial precision type of denture uses internal attachments. To put it simply, this equipment blends in better with its surroundings.
Your dentist can take impressions of your mouth and have a partial denture made, or you may go to a licensed clinical dental technician who, once you've visited your dentist for a treatment plan, can make you a partial denture on the spot.
Rarely, a permanent bridge may replace the function of missing teeth rather than requiring a removable partial denture. In such circumstances, the dentist installs dental crowns on each side of the open area and inserts an artificial tooth into the vacant space.
