What Is Denture :

 

Denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Two types of dentures are available  complete and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when all the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth . Replacing missing teeth will help to improve your appearance and smile. Without support from the denture, facial muscles sag, making a person look older. Dentures can help you eat and speak more comfortably.
Dentures require a framework to support them, which is usually called a full or partial plate. This plate can be made from rigid acrylic resin or a type of flexible (nylon) polymer, as explained by the International Journal of Scientific Study, Or it can be molded from chrome cobalt metal.

How do Dentures Work?

​

With full dentures, a flesh-colored acrylic base fits over your gums. The base of the upper denture covers the palate (the roof of your mouth), while that of the lower denture is shaped like a horseshoe to accommodate your tongue.
Dentures are custom-made in a dental laboratory from impressions taken of your mouth. Your dentist will determine which of the three types of dentures described below is best for you.
​

Conventional Full Denture
A conventional full denture is placed in your mouth after any remaining teeth are removed and tissues have healed. Healing may take several months, during which time you are without teeth.


Immediate Full Denture
An immediate full denture is inserted immediately after the remaining teeth are removed. (Your dentist takes measurements and makes models of your jaw during a prior visit.) While immediate dentures offer the benefit of never having to be without your teeth, they must be relined several months after being inserted. The reason is that the bone supporting the teeth reshapes as it heals, causing the denture to become loose.


Partial Denture
A partial denture rests on a metal framework that attaches to your natural teeth. Sometimes crowns are placed on some of your natural teeth and serve as anchors for the denture. Partial dentures offer a removable alternative to bridges.

Who is a Good Candidate for Partial Dentures?

 

If you have any missing teeth or unwanted gaps in your mouth, whether it’s due to aging or an accident, partial dentures are an excellent way to bring your perfect smile back to life.

​

   You may be a good candidate for traditional partial dentures if you have
 

​

  •  A few remaining teeth

  • Several consecutively missing teeth

  • Healthy bone tissue

Who is a Candidate for Complete Dentures?

​

Full dentures are an affordable and natural-looking tooth replacement option for patients missing all of their natural teeth due to issues regarding their oral health such as:

​

  • Periodontal disease

  • Bone loss 

  • Tooth decay

 

These types of false teeth are entirely customizable, offering you the ability to recreate an authentic oral image and empowering you once again to look young, eat well and speak clearly.

If you have lost all of your teeth, the option of complete denture is ideal for you.

 

​

 What are the procedures involved in placing Dentures?

​

At first, your doctor will first take the impressions of your jaw to analyze how well they relate to one another and whether they have spaces in between them.

​

Secondly, a wax model is then prepared to check the fitting

.

Thirdly, after that final denture is made with the wax model

​

Fourthly, the patient is made to try the final set of dentures and if necessary adjustments will be made after that.

How to Take Care of the Dentures:

​

Don't let dentures dry out – place them in a denture cleanser soaking solution or in plain water when you're not wearing them. Never use hot water, which can cause dentures to warp.


Brush your dentures – brushing dentures daily will remove food and dental plaque, and help prevent them from becoming stained.


Take care of your mouth – brush your gums, tongue and palate every morning with a soft-bristled brush before you insert dentures. This stimulates circulation in your tissues and helps remove plaque.


Consult your dentist – see your dentist if dentures break, chip, crack or become loose. Don't be tempted to adjust them yourself — this can damage them beyond repair.
