Types of Dentures We Offer
Dentures are a popular option for replacing missing teeth. They are removable and can be taken out and put back in at any time, offering convenience and flexibility. Our doctors may recommend dentures if you have lost a significant number of healthy teeth and other procedures are not an option.
Full Dentures
Full dentures replace all the teeth in your upper or lower jaw. There are two main types of full dentures:
- Conventional Full Dentures: These are placed after the tissue has had time to heal from the removal of the remaining teeth. Healing can take several weeks to a few months. During this healing period, you will be without teeth. Once the tissue has healed, the full set of dentures is placed, restoring your smile and function.
- Immediate Full Dentures: Immediate full dentures are placed the same day as your remaining teeth are removed. Our doctors will take precise measurements of your mouth before the extraction and have the dentures ready for immediate placement. However, because your jawbone and gums will shift during the healing process, follow-up visits will be necessary to check and adjust the dentures for a proper fit. Over time, you may need to have your dentures tightened as your mouth heals.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are ideal for patients who are missing some teeth but still have healthy teeth remaining. Unlike a full denture, partial dentures are designed to fit around your remaining natural teeth and are removable. They are an excellent option for filling gaps and restoring both function and appearance.
Getting Used to Your New Dentures
It’s normal to experience some discomfort when you first get your dentures. The flesh-colored base of the dentures sits over your gums, and they may feel bulky or loose at first. Speaking and eating may take some time to get used to, but don’t worry – most patients find that as they adjust, the dentures become more comfortable. Over time, you will get used to them and they will feel like a natural part of your mouth.
