Although dentures will never feel exactly like natural teeth, the dentures that are being produced today are better looking and more comfortable to wear than they once were. Dentures, basically replacement teeth come in two types; full and partial. Whether you wear full dentures in Bloomingdale or partial depends on the number of teeth you have lost and the expert opinion of your dentist.
All dentures are custom made from impressions taken of your oral cavity. Upper dentures fit snugly to the roof of your mouth, lower dentures rest on the gums. There are actually three types of dentures that your dentist can suggest.
Conventional: This type of full denture is not worn until such time as all your teeth have been extracted and your gums have healed. This may take several months.
Immediate: This style of denture eliminates the need for the patient to go without teeth while the extraction site is healing. The denture is made from a model of your jaw. As this style of denture is worn as soon as the teeth have been extracted it does mean that they will have to be relined after a period of time as the oral cavity changes once teeth have been extracted.
Partials: A partial denture is used when only a few teeth are missing. These dentures fit to existing teeth; they offer an alternative to a bridge although a partial denture is removable.
Denture care:
Dentures are fragile and can break if they are dropped. It is always a good idea to clean and apply denture adhesive over a soft surface such as a towel.
If you are not wearing your dentures always put them in water or denture cleaning solution. Do not let your denture dry out.
When you have the denture out for brushing, brush your gums and pallet before you reinsert the denture.
If you experience any difficulties with your dentures in Bloomingdale, perhaps a tooth is chipped or the denture cracks; see your dentist right away. Never try to repair your dentures yourself.
