What Are the Types of Dentures?

Dentures are oral prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. If you are missing all of your teeth in the upper or lower arch, you'll require complete dentures. However, if you have some natural teeth remaining, you'll need partial dentures.

Complete Dentures: When placing complete dentures, we sometimes have to remove any remaining teeth. Your jaw's shape will change during the healing process, which typically takes a few months. Conventional dentures are prepared and placed after healing to ensure the best fit and comfort. While waiting, we'll place temporary dentures so you won't have to go without teeth. Immediate dentures, on the other hand, are prepared ahead of time and positioned right after extracting any remaining teeth. However, these types of dentures usually require relining and adjustments to accommodate the changes that take place in the shape of your mouth.

Partial Dentures: Partials offer a removable alternative to fixed dental bridges when some teeth remain. They consist of prosthetic teeth attached to gum-colored bases and connect to your natural teeth using metal frameworks and clasps.

Implant-Supported Dentures: Implant-supported dentures can be either complete or partial. Unlike conventional dentures that stay in place mainly using suction, these restorations are secured by several dental implants. They come with a snapping mechanism to allow for removal while ensuring they remain securely in place. Implant-supported dentures provide numerous benefits. They rely on implants, which are the only restorations that prevent bone loss. They provide exceptional comfort and look and feel just like your natural teeth. Your new dentures will allow you to speak clearly and confidently and enjoy your favorite foods without restriction. With proper care, your implant-supported restorations can last a lifetime!

Which Type of Dentures Are Right for You?

The best way to determine the best type of denture to restore your smile is to consult with your trusted team at North Mountain Dentistry. We will evaluate your unique needs and help you determine the right restoration for you.

How Should You Care for Your Dentures?

Make sure to clean your dentures daily following the instructions we provide. That typically involves brushing daily with non-abrasive denture toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush and rinsing them thoroughly after every meal. Avoid using very hot water, which can warp your restoration. Keep your dentures stored in a mild denture cleaner when not in use and rinse them before placing them back in your mouth.

If there are any sore areas or if your dentures become loose, make sure not to attempt making any repairs to avoid damaging your restorations. Contact our office for an appointment if you have any concerns, and we will make any needed adjustments to ensure your dentures continue to enhance your smile for years to come.
