What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and gum tissue. Dentures can be made from various acrylic and composite materials and are held in place with suction, dental adhesive, or a metal framework that clips into your remaining healthy teeth. At Lakewood Dental Studio,
Dr. Leisa Robotham
recommends dentures as a convenient, affordable way to restore your grin.
Dentures are much more common than one might think, and nearly 1 in 5 people wear dentures (based on a study across countries).
PARTIAL DENTURES
Partial dentures can be a solution for patients missing one or several of their natural teeth.
FULL DENTURES
Complete dentures are used to replace an entire arch of missing teeth.
Dentures can help faces look younger. Aside from creating a fuller smile, dentures can help give virtually full support to your cheeks and lips (and prevent sagging).
THINK YOU MAY NEED A DENTAL CROWN?
Are you wearing dentures all night? Think again! Keeping your denture in while you sleep can do more harm than good. Not only is plaque accumulation likely, but the long-term effects include an increased risk of gum disease, oral thrush, and bone loss. Yikes! Remove and clean those pearly whites before turning off the lights for a better tomorrow.
Dentures and denture partials are designed to stay securely in place, allowing you to talk, chew, and smile with confidence. Complete dentures use suction and denture adhesive along the gum line for a secure fit. Denture partials use metal clasps or precision attachments that latch onto pre-existing teeth. This mechanism helps minimize the movement of dentures while eating and speaking and reduces the amount of denture adhesive required.
Dentures can last for 5 to 7 years with proper care.
