A denture is a removable dental appliance that is used to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissue in the mouth.\u00a0 This type of restoration is made to resemble your natural teeth as closely as possible and may even enhance your smile as well.<\/span><\/p> A denture can come in two types – a complete denture and a partial denture.\u00a0 A complete denture is used when all of the teeth are missing, while a partial denture is used when some natural teeth remain.\u00a0 The purpose of a partial denture is not only to fill in the spaces left by missing teeth, but also to prevent other teeth from shifting due to the missing teeth.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t There are two types of complete dentures: the conventional and immediate types. Conventional dentures are made after the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has healed (this usually takes four to six weeks).\u00a0 During this time, the patient will be without teeth for a period of time.\u00a0 The immediate dentures are prepared in advance and placed immediately following the extraction of the teeth, thus preventing the patient from being without teeth for a prolonged period of time.\u00a0 It will be necessary to make adjustments once the tissues have shrunk and healed.<\/span><\/p> The dentures are very durable and will last for many years, but they may require remaking, repair, or readjustment as a result of normal wear.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Dentures are usually obtained through several appointments over a period of several weeks.\u00a0 For creating your custom denture, highly accurate impressions (molds) and measurements are taken and used in order to create an exact fit.\u00a0 It may be necessary to schedule a few “try-in” appointments in order to ensure that the shape, color, and fit are correct.\u00a0 During the final appointment, your dentist will precisely adjust and place the finished denture, ensuring that it fits comfortably and naturally.<\/span><\/p> You may experience increased salivation, some soreness, and difficulty speaking and chewing at first, but this will subside once your muscles and tissues become accustomed to the new dentures.<\/span><\/p> You will receive instructions on how to care for your new dentures.\u00a0 In order to prolong the life of your new dentures, it is important that you clean them properly, maintain good oral hygiene, and go to the dentist on a regular basis.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Our dentists pride themselves on putting your needs first and offering FREE PARKING<\/strong> \u2014 a rarity for downtown dentists.
