Are dentures right for your tooth replacement needs?
You’ve heard of them, but let’s take a closer look at how they work and how they can help your smile.
Find out the basics about dentures to make the best choice for your oral health.
About Denture Prosthetics
What exactly are dentures?
They’re custom-crafted sets of artificial teeth designed to replace missing ones. Whether you’re missing a few teeth or an entire arch, dentures come in two main varieties: partial (for partial tooth loss) and full (for complete tooth loss).
Regardless of the type, dentures are personalized for your unique needs. The dentist takes impressions of your mouth and remaining teeth which the dental lab uses to craft your custom dentures.
How Dentures Work
Modern dentures are composed of plastic, acrylic, and/or metal. Each material boasts its own advantages, for example:
- Acrylic offers affordability
- Porcelain provides enhanced durability, albeit at a higher cost.
Oftentimes, dentures combine different materials, featuring a metal base for stability and porcelain for the artificial teeth. Partial dentures include artificial teeth affixed to a metal or plastic base. Full dentures may require denture adhesive to secure to your gums.
Eating with Dentures
Unlike natural teeth, dentures aren’t permanently fixed—they’re typically removable. Notably, it may take time to adjust to eating with your dentures. Start with soft foods, and work your way up to your everyday food items.
Caring for Dentures
Regarding denture care, remove them at night to clean and soak in denture solution! Brush them with a soft-bristled toothbrush and denture-safe paste to keep them clean and sparkling.
