What are dentures?
Despite your best efforts age, disease or injury, can contribute to tooth loss. Without a complete smile you could experience dietary restrictions, and embarrassment about your smile. Today’s dentures are much more comfortable and natural looking so not to let missing teeth hold you back.
Dentures are made of removable plates that look like gums holding artificial teeth. They are used to replace natural teeth that need to be pulled or filed down due to disease and decay. They are made from acrylic plastic, porcelain or metal. Dentures are held in the mouth using adhesives. Dentists use full dentures or partial dentures, depending on how many teeth you need to replace.
What to expect when getting dentures
At your first appointment, a dentist and dental assistant will take a mold of your mouth. Then, customized dentures or partials will be built in a lab for you. You will need to remove any rotting or chipped teeth, and make sure that your gum tissue has healed. The dental office will provide you with a try on to ensure that color and fit will be just right. Then, your dentures will be placed in your mouth, greatly improving your way of life.
