Dentures and Partials

Descripción del servicio

Dentures – Removable dental replacements, or dentures, are a common service that we provide for our clients. We provide both complete dentures (for when all teeth are missing) and partial dentures (for when some teeth are missing). There are both conventional and immediate dentures. Conventional dentures are made after the teeth have been removed and are placed 8 to 12 weeks after removal. Immediate dentures are made in advance and can be positioned as soon as the teeth are removed. Removable Partial Denture - is often used in order to replace one or many missing teeth. The removable partial denture itself is attached to remaining teeth in the mouth with various metal clasps to keep it intact and secure. These dentures can be removed to allow for easy cleaning. The base of these dentures is typically made of either metal or acrylic. The gums of this appliance is made of acrylic and the teeth can be made from porcelain or acrylic too. Partial dentures are typically made of a resin base where the artificial teeth are inserted. The fit of the partial is especially important as it will affect the bite. A bad bite can lead to trauma to the gums and existing teeth. The fit also influences the look and the function too. Pros of Removable Partial Dentures They help to restore comfort when eating, chewing and even when speaking. They improve the look of the mouth and gives confidence to those who have missing teeth Most patients have no problem adapting to removable partial dentures as compared to complete ones. Proper brushing and flossing is required with removable partial dentures as they do increase plaque buildup and can lead to tooth decay. Caring for Removable Partial Dentures Every night the partial must be removed in order to relieve both the gum tissue and teeth. They require good blood circulation and air to be healthy. Store the removable partial dentures in clean water. Place the partial in the mouth using the fingers and not by biting it. This can stress the clasps and lead to breakages.
