Muskaan Dentals
There are numerous ways to rehabilitate your missing teeth and our experts will be able to suggest the best alternative for you, whether it’s a denture, bridge or implant.
Dentures are manufactured teeth and gums that are constructed in your mouth and developed by your dentists to replace missing or removed natural teeth. Dentures can either be complete or partial, in simple words they can either replace all teeth on either the top or bottom gum line or just a few that are missing. Regardless of what kind of dentures you may require, our experts will custom design them to fit your mouth so that it visually matches your existing teeth. A denture can boost your confidence and our dentist will talk to you about the potential options for replacing missing teeth.
Types of Denture
Dentures are custom-made removable equipment which can be used as a replacement for missing teeth and tissues. They are the artificial teeth which facilitate the normal functioning of a human mouth. Dentures are of two types – Complete & Partial.
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures or full dentures are formulated to replace a full set of teeth. They can either fit on the upper arch, lower arch or both and can be easily withdrawn when you have to clean your denture or simply to give your gums a rest. To support your mouth and gums, you may want to use a denture fixative such as those offered in the Polident. Denture fixatives can help assure that your dentures are kept absolutely in place, and help obstruct food particles from becoming tangled underneath them. Your new teeth will be built on a metal and acrylic base (a bridge). Screws are then positioned into your mouth to keep the denture fixed in, which in turn secure the teeth into root implants that are surgically inserted into your jaw bone. The bridge is fixed with screws and can be removed if required.
Partial Denture
Our experts might recommend partial dentures if you only have a few teeth missing. These type of dentures clip onto remaining natural teeth and can help you feel more satisfied if you are only missing an insignificant number of teeth. This sort of overdenture also works with dental implants and attachments. In this case, the attachments are embedded into the acrylic, which can be fitted on and off the implants. Two or three implants are surgically installed around the curve of your jaw that the overdenture clips on to, for reasonable resilience in your mouth.
Benefits of Dentures
Dentures provide plenty of benefits for people missing some of their natural teeth:-
They Improve the Look of Your Smile
Missing teeth are the aesthetics of a smile. If you are feeling self-conscious about opening up your mouth, dentures can help you regain confidence in your appearance.
They Are Easy to Clean
Since dentures are detachable, you can maintain a thorough oral hygiene habit with least action. Simply use a soft-bristle toothbrush and special denture cleaner to keep them clean.
They can reduce Further Oral Health Issues
Even if you are only missing a few teeth, it increases your risk for some oral health issues like gum disease. Restoring the function of your natural teeth with dentures helps you decrease your risk for these issues
They Are Made According to Your Mouth
The dentist creates dentures just for you so you can get the most comfortable fit. This means that you can eat and talk as you normally would without irritation and discomfort.
