Dentures And Mouth Guards Perth

Dentures in Perth are replacements for missing teeth that can be taken out and put back into your mouth

. While dentures in Perth take some getting used to, and will never feel exactly the same as one's natural teeth, today's dentures in Perth are natural looking and more comfortable than ever.

There are two main types of dentures: full and partial. Your dentist will help you choose the type of denture that's best for you based on whether some or all of your teeth are going to be replaced and the cost involved in Perth.

With full dentures, a flesh-colored acrylic base fits over your gums. The base of the upper denture covers the palate (the roof of your mouth), while that of the lower denture is shaped like a horseshoe to accommodate your tongue. Dentures in Perth are custom-made in a dental laboratory from impressions taken of your mouth. Your dentist will determine which of the three types of dentures described below is best for you.

Conventional Full Denture

A conventional full denture is placed in your mouth after any remaining teeth are removed and tissues have healed. Healing may take several months, during which time you are without teeth.

Immediate Full Denture

An immediate full denture is inserted immediately after the remaining teeth are removed. (Your dentist takes measurements and makes models of your jaw during a prior visit.) While immediate dentures offer the benefit of never having to be without your teeth, they must be relined several months after being inserted. The reason is that the bone supporting the teeth reshapes as it heals, causing the denture to become loose.

Partial Denture

A partial denture rests on a metal framework that attaches to your natural teeth. Sometimes crowns are placed on some of your natural teeth and serve as anchors for the denture. Partial dentures offer a removable alternative to bridges.

A mouth guard is a flexible appliance that is worn in athletic and recreational activities to protect teeth from trauma. The dental profession unanimously supports the use of mouth guards in a variety of sports activities. It can prevent serious injuries such as broken teeth, jaw fractures, cerebral hemorrhage and neck injuries by helping to avoid situations where the lower jaw gets jammed into the upper jaw. They are effective in moving soft tissue in the oral cavity away from the teeth, preventing laceration and bruising of the lips and cheeks, especially for those who wear orthodontic appliances. They may also reduce the severity and incidence of concussions. Anytime there is a strong chance for contact with other participants or hard surfaces, it is advisable to wear a mouth guard. The different types of Mouth Guards:

Stock mouth guard: The lowest cost option is a ready-made, stock item, which offers the least protection because the fit adjustment is limited. It may interfere with speech and breathing because this guard requires that the jaw be closed to hold it in place.

Mouth-formed mouth guard: There are two types of mouth-formed mouth guards. The first is a shell-liner mouth guard that is made with an acrylic material that is poured into an outer shell, where it forms a lining. Another type is a thermoplastic, or "boil-and-bite," mouth guard. This is softened in hot water and then placed in the mouth and shaped around the teeth by using finger, tongue and sometimes biting pressure.

Custom-made mouth guard: The best choice is a mouth guard custom-made by your dentist. It offers the best protection, fit and comfort level because it is made from a cast to fit your teeth.
