Dentures Full & Partial
Dentures have been used to replace missing teeth for many years, either as a temporary measure until other treatment is carried out, or as a permanent measure.
Missing teeth may need to be replaced for appearance or may need to be replaced for function. They can be used to replace one tooth or all the teeth depending upon the situation. Dentures can also be made in different materials i.e. metal or plastic and with modern technology can even be flexible like Valplast dentures.
Replacing missing teeth can have an impact on your appearance as not only do they replace gaps but can often provide a scaffold to your cheeks, preventing them sinking in giving you a hollowed appearance. If you do not replace missing teeth you may lose your chewing ability and find it more difficult to eat. Often people will choose food that is easily digested rather than food that constitutes a good diet. Poor choice in diet and poor chewing capacity can lead to digestive problems and increased medication to combat this.
Dentures used to replace a few missing teeth are called partial dentures and dentures replacing all your teeth whether it is upper or lower jaw are called full dentures.
Some people find it extremely difficult to change from natural teeth to dentures and find that they move around. By combining dentures with implants or mini implants they can become more stabilized to overcome this problem. Mini implants are a compromise to conventional implants, but are a fraction of the investment and work well to improve stability of dentures.
With improvements in dentistry and in laboratories, dentures can be made to look very natural. To have a more natural look myFACE can individualize your denture to suit you. Fillings, fractures or stains can be incorporated into the denture.
