A denture is a removable alternative for missing teeth. Two types of dentures are available- complete and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when all the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth are remaining.
Complete dentures can be either "conventional" or "immediate". Immediate dentures are made immediately after the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has begun to heal. A conventional denture is ready for placement in the mouth about 8 to 12 weeks after the teeth have been removed.
A removable partial denture generally consists of artificial teeth attached to a pink or gum-colored resin base, which is occasionally connected by metal frame that holds the denture in place in the mouth. Partial dentures are used when one or further natural teeth remain in the upper or lower jaw.
Yes, dental implants can be used to support cemented prosthesis, avoiding the need for a denture. The cost is generally lesser, but the implants and prosthesis more nearly simulate the natural teeth. Dental implants may also be used to support dentures, offering further stability.
Dentures are made to nearly simulate your natural teeth so there should be only a small change in appearance. In fact, dentures may indeed enhance your smile and fill out your facial appearance.
Over time, dentures will need to be relined, rebased, or remade due to normal wear and tear and natural age- related changes to the face, jawbones, and gums or if the dentures become loose. To reline or rebase a denture, the dentist or prosthodontist refits the base or makes a new base and reuses the existing teeth.
