Restorative Dentistry: Dentures Amalgam Fillings | Tooth Colored Fillings | Root Canals | Crowns and Bridges | Full and Partial Dentures | Implants If you’ve lost all or some of your natural teeth, whether from periodontal disease, tooth decay or injury, complete or partial dentures can replace your missing teeth and your smile. Replacing missing teeth will benefit your appearance and your health. Without support from the denture, facial muscles sag, making a person look older. You’ll be able to eat and speak—things that people often take for granted until their natural teeth are lost. There are various types of complete dentures. A conventional full denture is made and placed in the patient’s mouth after the remaining teeth are removed and tissues have healed which may take several months. An immediate complete denture is inserted as soon as the remaining teeth are removed. With immediate dentures, you do not have to be without teeth during the healing period. Removable partial dentures usually consist of replacement teeth attached to pink or gum-colored plastic bases, which are connected by a metal framework. Partial dentures can also be placed right after the teeth are removed or after the tissue has healed from extraction. Remember, with an immediate partial denture, you do not have to be without teeth during the healing period. Even if you wear full dentures or partial dentures, you still must take good care of your mouth. Brush your gums, tongue and palate every morning with a soft-bristled brush before you insert your dentures to stimulate circulation in your tissues and help remove plaque. |
