Experience The Benefits Of Partials And Dentures When Teeth Are Missing

Statistics show that the majority of adults age 35 to 44 have lost at least one permanent

tooth to an accident, gum disease, a failed root canal or tooth decay. If you have lost all of your teeth, or even a few, whether it is from periodontal disease, tooth decay or injury, dentures can replace your missing teeth and restore your smile. By replacing your missing teeth, your health and appearance will benefit greatly. Today, dentures are designed to be more comfortable and functional than they were in the past. Your dentist in Vancouver completes partials and dentures for numerous patients and can easily complete your new smile through their full service lab in the building. Working with the top oral surgeons, your dentist helps to place implants and make high end dentures that snap on to the implants for a well supported smile.

Dentures: The Basics

Full dentures utilize a flesh colored acrylic base that fits over your gums. The base of the upper denture covers the roof of your mouth, while that of the lower denture is shaped like a horseshoe to accommodate your tongue. Dentures are custom-made in dental laboratories from impressions taken of your mouth. Your dentist will determine which denture is best for you. Conventional full dentures are placed in your mouth after any remaining teeth are removed and tissues have healed. The healing of your tissues may take several months, during which you are without teeth.

Immediate full dentures are inserted immediately after the remaining teeth are removed. Your dentist will take measurements and make models of your jaw during a previous visit. While immediate dentures offer the benefit of not having to be without teeth, they must be relined several months after being inserted. This is due to the fact that the bone supporting the teeth reshapes as it heals, causing the denture to become loose.

What are Partials?

A partial denture provides excellent aesthetics and comfort for patients who prefer to wear a removable denture rather than a fixed restoration such as a dental bridge or implants. By using a flexible base, the restoration can adapt to the constant movement and flexibility in your mouth. Most partials can be virtually invisible because there are no telltale metal clasps to cover your natural teeth and the materials used blend with the tissue in your mouth so that the only thing that shoes is your beautiful smile.

In addition, most materials blend with the tissue in your mouth so that the only thing that shows is your beautiful smile. A partial denture is used when one or more natural teeth remain in the upper or lower jaw, and are virtually invisible because there are no telltale metal clasps. In fact, the denture materials blend right in with the natural color of the tissue in your mouth so no one has to know you're wearing it.

Support Loose Dentures with Dental Implants

An implant-supported denture is a type of overdenture that is supported by and attached to dental implants while a regular denture rests on the gums and is not supported by implants. When a person does not have any teeth in their jaw, but has enough bone in the jaw to support implants, an implant-supported denture can be used. With an implant-supported denture, there is a special attachment that snaps onto the implants.

Typically, implant supported dentures are created for the lower jaw. This is because regular dentures tend to be less stable when used on the lower jaw. Usually, a regular denture made to fit an upper jaw is quite stable on its own and doesn't need the extra support offered by implants. However, you can receive an implant-supported denture in both the upper and lower jaw. It is important to remove your implant-supported denture daily to clean the denture and your gums. As with regular dentures, you should not sleep with them in at night.

Consult your dentist in Vancouver today if you are missing some or all of your teeth. Dentures are not for everyone, but with proper evaluation from your Vancouver dentist, you will find the best treatment plan for restoring your smile.
