Dentures
If someone has lost their natural teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or decay, we can assist them. Replacing the missing teeth with the help of dentures can benefit the facial structure of a person and their ability to speak and eat.
Dentures are said to be removable replacements for teeth designed to look and function like natural teeth.
Types
You can explore different types of complete dentures. An absolute denture will replace all the missing teeth. A partial denture can replace the teeth when a few absent teeth are found between the healthy teeth.
The third one is the conventional full denture, which replaces all teeth and is placed in the mouth after the residual teeth are removed and the tissues have healed, which may take numerous months.
An instant temporary denture can be inserted when the residual teeth are removed. With instant dentures, the wearer doesn’t have to live without the teeth during the healing period.
Even if someone wears full dentures, they must care for their mouth.
They must try to brush their gums, tongue, and palate with a soft-bristled toothbrush every morning before inserting their dentures to excite circulation in their tissues and assist in eliminating plaque in the evening after removing the dentures.
Our teeth play a role in providing a structure for both cheeks and face. As a result, tooth loss can result in an older appearance and sagging of the cheeks.
FAQs
Is dentures a permanent solution?
Yes
Is it painful to get dentures?
Discomfort is common after dentures as it takes time to adjust properly in the mouth. Until the time of adjustment, a patient needs to undergo some discomfort. While pain depends on the patient and situation. If the patient has worn them in the past, it would take them more time to adjust to the new one. In some cases, extraction is needed, which can cause pain.
Will dentures affect my ability to eat certain foods?
As with any other dental procedure, there’s certainly an adjustment period after having dentures inserted. However, if all your teeth are missing and you have full dentures, there may be foods you cannot eat again due to the movement of the dentures.
How do I clean them?
Dentures are easy to clean. You put them in a bowl of water and gently rubbed them with a denture sponge or brush, which are easily accessible at any pharmacy shop. Mouthwash and toothpaste are prohibited from being used to clean the dentures. Always clean your denture before going to bed and dry it properly before wearing it.
How long will dentures last?
Dentures could last 8-10 years if properly taken care of.
Will dentures change the appearance of my smile?
Yes, the point of installing dentures is to improve the smile with the replacement of missing or damaged teeth. Moreover, dentures are designed in such a way that it can blend with other teeth in your mouth so that no difference can be noticed.
Can I remove my dentures at night?
Absolutely. It’s recommended that you avoid sleeping with your dentures at night and place them in a mild cleaning solution or lukewarm water to help them retain their moisture.
