Boca Raton Dentures - Tooth Replacement with Partial or Full Dentures

Partial and Full Dentures

When you lose your teeth, your dentist will encourage you to have them replaced as soon as possible. Why? According to studies, patients who failed to have their missing teeth replaced suffered from oral health problems like the development of tooth decay and cavities. The moment you lose a permanent tooth, seeing your dentist should become top priority. The most popular tooth replacement option available today is a pair of dentures. They can help you restore your smile and oral functionality.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are artificial teeth created and designed by your dentist to replace missing teeth. They come in two forms – partial and full. Therefore, dentures can replace several or all your teeth. Whether you need partial or full dentures, your dentist will customize the dental prosthesis to accurately fit your mouth and match the surrounding teeth to look natural.

What Are Partial and Full Dentures?

Let’s learn about the two types of dentures:

Partial Dentures

the framework of partial dentures is either made of a metal or a plastic base to support the teeth that need replacing. It is secured in your mouth through clasps and they rest around your existing teeth. The traditional design uses metal. Metal is reliable because of its notable strength. Plastic partial dentures are only used as temporary replacements while waiting for your bone and gums to heal before the final restorative solution.

Complete Dentures

this type of denture consists of a pink-colored plastic base that resembles gum tissues. It can support a full set of teeth. A traditional full denture is kept secure in your mouth by sealing with your gums. It can also be attached to dental implants.

How Are Dentures Made?

The entire denture process may take several weeks to complete. First, your dentist will measure and take impressions of your jaw. Next, a model will be created, which will be used to design your denture. You will be asked to try it on to see how it fits. The fit, shape, and color will also be evaluated before your dentist makes the final denture cast. Once the denture is ready, necessary adjustments may still be made until you get the perfect fit.
