Dentures are a great option for adults who have lost some or all their teeth due to trauma or decay. Dentures are removable acrylic replacements for missing teeth. They can be created to fill in gaps, or replace a full set of teeth, depending on your need.
Here are some things to consider if dentures are an option for you:
- They take some getting used to. As with any new thing in our lives, speaking with new dentures will take some practice
- Made of synthetic materials, a denture might not feel like your teeth, but are hand created to look good and be comfortable to wear.
- Dentures are available as a full, partial, or implant-supported set.
- Full Dentures. Used for patients missing either arch or both, full dentures are permanently secured into a base. They can be held in place via adhesive or suction.
- Partial Dentures. More like a retainer, false teeth are held by a metal framework that attaches to your natural teeth. Partial dentures are for patients missing only a few teeth.
- Implant-Supported Dentures. These dentures snap into implants inserted into a patient’s jawbone. The implants give the denture more support, preventing movement while you speak, eat or drink.
