Dentures 101: What You Need To Know
Not all dentures are created equally and when it comes to false teeth, you have options. Here is a run-down of some of the most common types of dentures. Our team will work with you to decide on the style that’s best for you.
- Custom dentures – One of the most naturally-looking options. They’re made to fit your mouth comfortably and made of more expensive teeth.
- Traditional complete dentures – These sit on your gums and are not anchored to any existing teeth. They can take 2-3 months to construct.
- Partial dentures – Are used when you still have a few natural, healthy teeth remaining in your mouth. They can be worn or removed as often as you like, functioning a bit like a retainer with acrylic teeth.
- Upper dentures – A set of dentures only for your upper jaw. Replaces teeth missing from the top of your smile.
- Implant-supported dentures – If your jaw has enough bone mass, you may qualify for dentures that are implant-supported. Your dentures are held solidly in place so you can eat and speak with confidence. Implant dentures can be fixed or removable.
- Immediate dentures – A temporary option that you can utilize while waiting for your permanent dentures to be completed. Usually, you’ll wear immediate dentures for 6-8 weeks as they aren’t intended as a permanent solution.
- Snap-in dentures – A type of implant denture that allows you to snap your denture into the tops of a set of 2-4 implant screws. This style allows for added stability while maintaining the option of removing them when you like.
- Economy dentures – The least expensive option for dentures. These are the most generic style, so they won’t fit as comfortably as other options and often look artificial.
With so many options available, making a decision can feel overwhelming. Let our team work with you to understand your options. Reach out to us today for more information or to begin your denture process today!
Make Your Dentures Last
Dentures are created to allow you to lead a normal life. Speak, enjoy meals and live confidently with a beautiful, well-fitting set of dentures. Just like your natural teeth, dentures need daily cleaning to remove food particulates and keep your mouth healthy.
Store your dentures in water or a cleanser when not in use to help retain their shape and keep them from drying out. Avoid using hot or boiling water as this can warp your dentures. Contact your dentist for a refitting or adjustment if your dentures are uncomfortable or ill-fitting.
