All You Need To Know About Dentures

While everybody is aware of dentures and have probably heard about them or seen the seniors in their household use them, they do not carry the full information and knowledge about them.  As well as know, dentures are used by those who do not have teeth. It can be easily removed and put back in the jaw. Since it is a bit unusual the user may take a while to get used to them.

Today, when you look at dentures, it is quite difficult to differentiate between natural teeth and dentures. They look great and are more comfortable.  As a customer, you should know the different kinds of dentures available and make the right choices.

Here Are The Different Types Of Dentures

When you visit the dentist, you will be given the option of picking two types of dentures – conventional and immediate full and partial.  They are custom-made, and first, the impressions of the mouth are taken by the dentist. Later the dentures are made in the dental laboratory. The kind of dentures one picks will rely on the teeth to be replaced and the cost of dentures. The prices can vary based on the kind of material used.

• Immediate Full Denture – The in immediate full denture is placed right away once the rest of the teeth are removed. However, you need to make several trips as the dentist takes dimensions and makes models of the jaw. The dentures may take some time to get relined after being inserted so that the bone offers the right support to the teeth. The benefit here is that you can insert the denture right away.

• Conventional Full Dentures- These conventional full dentures come with an acrylic base in skin colour fits over the gums. The foundation of the upper denture protects the palate while the lower denture looks like a horseshoe and accommodates the tongue. Though, some teeth and tissue may have to be removed for the proper fitting of the denture, healing will not take much time.

• Partial Denture : A partial denture is used as an attachment to your natural teeth and is based on a metal framework. These dentures are removable alternative, and the replacement teeth are fixed to a gum-coloured plastic base that is connected by metal framework to hold the denture in place. They are removed if one or two of the natural teeth go missing in the upper or lower jaw.

Whichever denture you choose, it is going to take some time to get used to them. It is quite natural to feel uncomfortable for the first few weeks and may need some practice to eat and speak with dentures. You may get a feel of something bulky or loose in your mouth as your cheeks and tongue learn to hold them in place. Many customers may feel a minor soreness and excessive saliva flow, which is usual.

Taking care of dentures

Dentures are like any other roadcut and over the will need to be remade or rebased because of the normal wear and tear. While the dentist will retain the existing denture teeth, you ended to make a new base. Moreover, as you age, your mouth and jaw will undergo some natural changes, and it means that your denture may need some adjustments to make.

Proper cleaning and maintenance can certainly keep the dentures in good shape and condition. So, take good care of them as they are delicate and can break easily if mishandled. Place them in a cleanser soaking solution and do not use hot water. Brush them daily to remove food deposits and plaque and use a soft-bristled brush to brush your gums, tongue, and palate daily. Visit your dentist if you feel something is wrong with your dentures.
