Dentures are removable false teeth that are either made from metal, nylon, or acrylic materials. They are custom-made to fit comfortably over a patient’s gums to replace any teeth that are missing. Aside from their aesthetic properties, this can also help to reduce any potential issues caused by gaps.
The two options are either complete dentures or partial dentures.
A full set of dentures can be used to replace all of your lower or upper teeth. Partial dentures are ideal for replacing either single or multiple missing teeth. Dentures can play a vital role in helping to reduce or prevent issues with speech and eating. Complete dentures can also improve a person’s smile and thus impact their confidence at the same time.
Conventional dentures are a complete set of dentures that can only be placed when all of the teeth have been removed. There are a multitude of benefits to conventional dentures, particularly in the case where a patient has lost all or most of their existing teeth.
Conventional dentures can help to replace some of the functions you had prior to losing your teeth. Aside from this, conventional dentures can also enhance and improve your oral health as well as your digestion.
An immediate denture can be either a complete or partial denture that is inserted the same day, immediately after any natural teeth have been removed. For many patients, knowing they will not need to face going out in public without teeth is a major advantage.
The duplication of the color, shape, and arrangement of the teeth is also easier while there are some natural teeth still remaining. This method also helps to protect the tissues immediately after extraction.
Overdentures are a type of removable prosthesis designed to fit over existing roots or dental implants that have specialized attachments on top. These attachments allow the denture to be anchored for a more secure fit.
The primary difference between overdentures and dentures is that a regular denture is secured with the suction between the denture and bone ridges. In contrast, overdentures are a stable and secure option.
If you lose your teeth, the aesthetics of your smile could be impacted, along with the functionality of your teeth. If you eat with missing teeth, it can also put an increasing amount of strain onto any teeth that are still present.
As Dr. Jorge Rojas will discuss with you, there are many options for replacing missing teeth, and any option that involves having an implant will typically provide you with one of the most secure and stable solutions. There are many choices where dentures are concerned, and not all of these options are open to everyone.
If you are considering your options, it’s always advisable to discuss this with Dr. Rojas and his team. They can offer you tailored guidance and present you with a range of prices and timeframes for the choices you have available to you at any given point in time.
