About Dentures
Dentures are a prosthetic device built to fit a patient’s mouth and replace one or more missing teeth. They are designed to be supported by the surrounding soft and hard tissue of the oral cavity and restore full functionality of your teeth. Due to their effectiveness, they are one of the most popular and widely used options for replacing missing teeth.
Types of dentures
Dentures can either be complete (that is, replace an upper or lower arch or both) or they can be partial, filling the space left by several missing teeth, preventing the remaining teeth from moving out of position. Dentures can be made entirely from acrylic or bonded with metal in order to provide additional structural support.
When it comes to partial dentures, they are made from a detailed mould of your gum contour and remaining teeth. They need to fit precisely which is why it takes around 5 visits to the dentist to create them and be sure that they provide the highest level of functionality and comfort.
Complete dentures are secured in place with adhesive gel and suction, whilst partial dentures are often held in place by clasps, which attach to your natural teeth on either side of the space. Both complete and partial dentures should remain stable at all times. If you notice at some point that your denture has become loose or slippery when you speak, cough or chew, you should schedule an appointment to have it adjusted.
Note that missing teeth can, over time, cause your gums to alter its shape, which means that your denture may not fit as snugly as it did when first placed. At this point, we encourage our patients to arrive and have their dentures realigned.
Relining is when the base of your denture needs to be re-shaped or replaced entirely so it fits comfortably and remains secure. Relining can often be completed in a single appointment in just 1 or 2 hours.
