Dental dentures are artificial replacements widely used for your natural teeth and gums. For pain-free treatment, a recognized dentist can be recommended to replace the missing teeth.

Getting immediate denture after your teeth are extracted is truly a good news. Immediate dentures gradually become loose because of bone shrinkage as the jaw continues to heal but they are inserted immediately after the removal of the remaining teeth. However, a professional denturist is needed to remove your teeth. Do not expect your immediate dentures to have perfect fit and retention.

On an event of gum shrinkage, immediate dentures may need to rebase or relining to fit properly.

As gums heal over a long period, immediate dentures need more adjustments and temporary liners. Immediate dentures perform like a bandage, holding tissues together and protecting them during healing. Such treatment give a major change to your body. Dentists prescribe the patient to wear immediate dentures right away over extractions to escape from uncomfortable things.

Who can avail dentures treatment?

As dentures are relatively non-invasive, they are well suited to people who are unwilling to go through a more extensive dental procedure such as that used for dental implants.Elderly people are ideal candidates for dentures. And also those people who have eroded teeth and jaw line to the point that is difficult to do a crown or dental bridge can stick with dentures treatment.

Dentures are also ideal for people experiencing missing a row or several teeth or entire top or bottom teeth in a line. In such cases, it can be easier and less expensive to an entire set of false teeth rather than trying to rebuild it.

Types of Dentures

When it comes to pain free treatment, immediate denture is the best option. Let’s glance over different types of dentures in detail:

Complete Dentures – These dentures replace false teeth. Made of colored plastic base to duplicate the gum tissue and the artificial teeth are made either of porcelain or plastic. Complete dentures are held in place in the mouth by suction and attached to dental implants using a surgical procedure. This is the reason, the use of dental implants cost more. Both immediate dentures and conventional dentures are the two types of complete dentures.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures or removable partial denture prostheses type of dentures are ideal for individuals who still have some natural teeth remaining or when the existing natural teeth are not strong enough to support a bridge. Partial dentures easily fill the gaps caused by missing teeth and prevent the other teeth from shifting position. Made from metal framework or plastic base, partial teeth support the lost teeth. Partial dentures best offers a flexible and durable option and uses internal attachments instead of clasps for a more natural-looking appearance.

No matter whether you use complete or partial dentures, you need to ensure its care like a natural teeth. Also you need to understand that plaque from dentures can also spread to your natural gums and teeth, causing possible cavities and gum disease in the future.
