Dentures: All You Need To Know

Dentures are used to repair missing or missing teeth so that people can eat a balanced diet and smile confidently. Acrylic (plastic) or metal dentures are available.

A denture that replaces all of the natural teeth in either the upper or lower jaw is referred to as a "complete" or "full" denture.

A 'partial' denture is one that fills in the gaps left by missing or lost teeth. Metal clasps or 'precision attachments' may be used to secure it to your natural teeth.

If you need dentures repairs, Denture Repairs Ellenbrook will help you by arranging new dentures or repairing your existing dentures at a reasonable price.

What are the benefits of wearing dentures?

Dentures that replace all of your teeth are made to fit snugly around your gums. They'll make it easier for you to eat and talk clearly, as well as boost your motivation and self-esteem.

Partial dentures are used to cover missing teeth and are often protected by the remaining teeth. If you have gaps between your teeth, your other teeth can move to fill the room, causing your teeth to become crooked or tilted. This can alter your bite and cause harm to your other teeth.

How soon after my teeth are extracted will I get a denture?

After the teeth have been removed, dentures will usually be fitted right away. These are referred to as "immediate dentures." You will need to make an appointment with the dental team ahead of time so that they can take measurements and observations of your mouth.

You don't have to go without teeth when your gums recover with immediate dentures. Bone and gums, on the other hand, can shrink over time, particularly in the first six months after teeth removal. Your immediate dentures can need to be relined, adjusted, or even replaced if your gums shrink. Your dental staff will be able to discuss this with you.

Your dentist may recommend that you wait until your gums have healed before getting dentures, as this will result in a better fit. It could take several months for you to recover.

Would dentures alter my appearance?

Replacing missing or damaged teeth is beneficial to your health and appearance. Your natural teeth are replaced by a complete or full denture, which also supports your cheeks and lips. Sagging facial muscles without this help can make a person look older and make it difficult to eat and talk properly.

Dentures can be rendered to look almost identical to your natural teeth, so your appearance is unaffected. Modern dentures can also help to fill out the appearance of your face and enhance the appearance of your smile.

Will my dentures allow me to eat?

It will take some time to get used to eating. Begin with soft foods that have been cut into small pieces. To keep the denture from moving, chew slowly and on both sides of your mouth. When you get used to your denture, gradually introduce new foods before you're back on track to a balanced diet.

Will my speech be affected by dentures?

It can take some practise to pronounce those words correctly. It will help if you read aloud and repeat challenging words.

If your dentures fall out of place as you laugh, cough, or smile, gently bite down and swallow to reposition them. Consult your dentist if this occurs often.

How long should my dentures be worn?

Your dental team may advise you to wear them for the majority of the time during the first few days, even while you sleep. Your dental team may advise you to remove your dentures before going to bed until your mouth has gotten used to them. This gives your gums a chance to recover and keeps your mouth safe. It's best to store your dentures in a small amount of water when you take them out at night to prevent them from warping.
