Dentures
If you have multiple missing teeth and it’s starting to affect your diet and lifestyle, replacing them with a custom denture is an excellent choice. Dentures are relatively inexpensive compared to other types of rehabilitative treatments (such as implants) and are quite easy to make.
Advantages of Wearing a Denture
Your new dentures are made in a way that allows you to speak confidently, eat comfortably and fill out your facial features that may appear sunken-in from losing teeth. By supporting your lips and cheeks, you may find that the dentures enhance your facial profile to restore a younger looking appearance.
Full Dentures
Full or complete dentures refer to a full set of ‘false teeth’ which replaces all of the upper and lower teeth. They fit tightly over the gums and help restore the patient’s speech and eating. They are usually acrylic dentures. If there has been too much boneloss in the dental arches, the stability and retention of these dentures can be greatly improved by attaching them to dental implants. This method can achieve very satisfactory results for patients without any of their own teeth and struggling with looseness in their existing dentures, especially in the lower arch.
Partial Dentures
Dentures that replace some but not all of the teeth are known as partial dentures. They can be made from a combination of acrylic and chrome casting.
Partial dentures are vitally important for both aesthetics (filling the space of the missing teeth) and functionality (eating, speech, and preventing other teeth from changing position).
