Full Dentures
Full dentures are an excellent choice for those who have lost all of their natural teeth. They provide a full set of teeth that look and function just like regular teeth would, making it possible to eat, drink, and speak normally. Full dentures are custom-made to fit the individual's mouth, ensuring a comfortable fit and natural look.
The process for fitting full dentures involves taking impressions of the patient's gums and jaw structure in order to ensure that the denture fits perfectly in the mouth. Depending on the patient's needs, a dental professional may also recommend additional treatments such as implant-supported dentures or adhesive paste to secure the denture. With proper care and regular checkups and adjustments, full dentures can last many years with minimal maintenance required.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are a dental solution for those who are missing several teeth in a row. They consist of multiple prosthetic teeth that fit into the gaps left by missing teeth, held in place by metal clasps that attach to existing healthy teeth. Partial dentures provide an effective means of restoring the patient's ability to chew and speak normally, as well as providing an aesthetic improvement over missing teeth.
In addition, they help maintain the shape of the patient's face and reduce the risk of other teeth shifting or moving out of their proper alignment. Partial dentures generally require periodic adjustments to ensure a proper fit and can be removed at night for cleaning.
Advantages of getting dentures:
You will need to wear your dentures for several weeks in order to allow your gums and mouth to adapt to them. With proper care and attention, you should start to feel more comfortable with your dentures within a few days, but it may take up to 2 or 3 weeks before they fit properly and you can wear them without any issues.
