Dentures
Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore function and aesthetics to the mouth. They can be full (replacing all teeth) or partial (replacing some teeth). Here are a few key points about dentures:
- Types:
- Complete Dentures: Used when all teeth are missing.
- Partial Dentures: Used when some natural teeth remain; they fit around the existing teeth.
- Materials: Dentures can be made from acrylic resin, metal, or a combination of materials. The choice often depends on factors like durability and appearance.
- Fitting: Proper fitting is crucial for comfort and functionality. It typically involves several appointments for impressions and adjustments.
- Care: Dentures require daily cleaning to prevent plaque buildup and staining. It’s also important to soak them in a denture solution overnight.
- Adjustment Period: New denture wearers may need time to adjust to speaking and eating with them.
- Alternatives: Implants or bridges may be options for tooth replacement, depending on individual needs.
