What Are Full Dentures?
Full dentures may be ideal for patients missing all their teeth in their upper or lower jaw. The removable oral prosthetic devices consist of acrylic, gum-colored bases with natural-looking replacement teeth attached. They fit over your gums and are held in place by suction and your facial muscles. At Barr Family Dentistry, we offer two main types of full dentures: immediate and conventional.
- Immediate Dentures: Immediate dentures offer a temporary solution to complete your smile after extracting any remaining failing teeth. As the area heals, your gums and jawbone will change in shape, so your immediate restorations will require adjustments to continue to provide a comfortable fit and function. We can reline your temporary dentures to use as spares once you receive your permanent dentures.
- Conventional Dentures: These aesthetic restorations are created from impressions of your mouth after the gum tissues and bone have fully healed, which can take several months. Your new dentures take into account every subtle detail of your mouth, providing a better fit and improved comfort, stability, and function.
What Are Partial Dentures?
Partial dentures offer an excellent solution for patients who are missing several of their teeth but still have some healthy, natural teeth remaining. At Barr Family Dentistry, we provide different types of removable partial dentures to address your unique needs and personal preferences.
- Traditional Partial Dentures: Traditional partials typically consist of natural-looking prosthetic teeth attached to metal frameworks. They connect to your remaining teeth using metal or aesthetic clasps, restoring your complete smile. Traditional partial dentures are easy to repair and can accommodate additional replacement teeth to address future tooth loss.
- Flexible Partials: Flexible partial dentures are made from a flexible, lightweight material that is comfortable and easy to wear. They are particularly beneficial for patients with dexterity issues. Flexible partials adapt to the natural movements of your mouth, offering a secure and natural-looking tooth replacement solution.
What Are the Benefits of Complete and Partial Dentures?
Dentures offer numerous benefits, including the following:
- Improved Appearance: Full and partial dentures fill gaps left by missing teeth and support your facial structure, enhancing the appearance of your smile.
- Better Function: Your new dentures will help you speak more clearly and enjoy more of your favorite foods, improving your overall quality of life.
- Enhanced Oral Health: Partial dentures help prevent any remaining teeth from shifting toward the gap, preserving the alignment of your bite.
- Increased Confidence: A complete smile can boost your self-esteem and help you feel more confident in social and professional settings.
- Cost-Effective: Complete and partial dentures offer an affordable solution to restore missing teeth compared to dental bridges or implants.
What Is the Full or Partial Denture Procedure?
We start your denture process by taking impressions of your teeth and gums, which skilled lab technicians will use to create your custom restorations. When your full or partial denture is ready, we will evaluate it for a perfect fit and make any adjustments needed for the best possible comfort and function.
When you first wear your dentures, you will need a brief adjustment period. The good news is that with a little patience and some practice speaking and eating, you’ll adapt to your new smile in no time!
