FULL & PARTIAL DENTURES

FULL DENTURES

Dentures are artificial teeth that are worn to replace missing teeth. They are typically made of acrylic or porcelain and rest on the gums. Full dentures are used when all of the natural teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. Dentures can improve the appearance of your smile and make it easier to eat and speak. Without support from dentures, the facial muscles can sag, making a person look older. In addition, dentures can help to prevent problems with the jaw joint and prevent existing teeth from shifting position. For these reasons, dentures can play an important role in maintaining oral health.

PARTIAL DENTURES

There are two main types of dentures: partial and full. Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain, while full dentures are used when all the teeth are missing. Partial dentures are usually made of plastic or metal, and they clip onto the existing teeth. Full dentures are made of plastic and sit on the gums. Both types of dentures can be removed for cleaning. Dentures need to be cleaned daily with soap and water, and they should be taken out at night to give the gums a chance to rest. It is also important to avoid hard and sticky foods, as well as hot beverages, when wearing dentures. With proper care, dentures can last for many years.
