Dentures are artificial teeth that can be
removed. Many people who are missing one tooth, several teeth
or all their teeth, benefit greatly from denture teeth. Made
from the latest resin materials, dentures are very natural
looking and they can be matched in color and appearance to
your other teeth.
Without support from teeth and
dentures, facial muscles sag, making a person look older. With
dentures, you'll be able to eat and speak - things that people
often take for granted until their natural teeth are
gone.
Several visits to a prosthodontist are usually
required to make the dental impressions and make sure your
denture teeth fit right. These multiple appointments are
essential for receiving all the benefits you'll gain from the
dentures - your enhanced ability to chew, a great-looking
youthful smile, and confidence when speaking.
TYPES OF DENTURES
. Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are for people who have some natural teeth remaining, or who only need to replace a few teeth. The benefits are the same as for full denture wearers: your facial muscles will be supported, your smile improved and your ability to chew and speak will be enhanced. The dentures should be removed and cleaned daily to keep your gums healthy and to allow your tissues to relax.
. Complete Dentures A complete denture is for people who have no teeth in their lower jaw or upper jaw, or both jaws. Complete dentures should be removed and cleaned daily to keep your gums healthy and to allow your tissues to relax.
