Dentures
Dentures refer to prosthetics or removable appliances that are used as a replacement for your missing teeth. This comes handy when you have lost your teeth, which might be due to many reasons like tooth decay, disease, or injury. Dentures not only would help you to get your smile back, but you would also be able to speak and eat wearing it with ease. They are made in such a way that they closely resemble your natural teeth.
Custom Dentures
The best thing about dentures is that it is very comfortable to wear. You would get used to them quite quickly. Each denture is unique to the patient’s facial anatomy and oral structure. Dentures are quite comfortable to wear, but in case you face any discomfort wearing them, consult your dentist immediately, and they would make all the necessary adjustments.
There are two types of dentures available. The first one is complete denture, which is required when all the natural teeth are missing, and the second one is partial denture, which is used when some of the teeth are missing.
Longevity
The longevity of dentures depends on the way you use and take care of them. On average, they last for around 5 to 8 years. With might need to make some changes in your dentures in between as your gum tissues naturally recede over time, which might change the fit inside your mouth. This is another reason for visiting your dentist at least twice a year. You can also opt for the deep cleaning treatment from them on your visit.
Alternatives
There are alternatives available for dentures. The dental implants can be used widely to support the cemented bridges, and this would eliminate the need for any denture. They are more expensive compared to dentures, but opting for them; you would get a very close feeling to that of real teeth. Before you choose any of them, consult your dentist at Best Choice Family & Cosmetic Dentistry. They would examine your oral conditions and tell you which procedure would suit you the best.
Taking care
Taking proper care of dentures is very important. You should remove them before going to sleep and let it rest in a cup of water. This would remove stains and odor from them. Just like you brush your teeth, you should wash the dentures at least twice daily to remove food particles stuck on them. You can use a soft-bristle toothbrush and denture specific paste to clean them daily.
