Know Your Denture Options

Need dentures? With so many options, choosing the best dentures can be a tricky decision. Should you choose full or partial? Or perhaps flexible partial dentures suit your budget?

Read on to understand the main differences between the most popular dentures:

Dentures 101

Dentures are artificial teeth replacement appliances. The majority of conventional dentures are made from plastic, acrylic, metal, and resin.

Regardless of material, all modern dentures are natural looking and more comfortable than traditional tooth replacement tools.

Different types of dentures

Different dentures serve different purposes. These are the most common ones:

Full Dentures

Full dentures are a complete set of replacement teeth. They are made to fit your mouth shape.  Typically, a denture adhesive is used to stick them together. If you have full dentures, you should clean them with special cleansers and a soft-bristled toothbrush.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are designed to replace a few missing teeth. This is the main difference between partial and full dentures.

While full dentures cover your whole mouth, partial dentures replace some missing teeth.

Partial dentures are for those people who still have some of their natural teeth. They are crafted to complement the natural color of your remaining teeth and blend in with the rest of your mouth.

Dental Implants

Implants are metal frames inserted in the jaw. They help attach full or partial dentures and provide support to them. Implants promote regular movement of the mouth. In addition, they prevent the facial muscles from becoming loose.

After they are installed, implants will function like normal teeth. Just like your natural teeth, they need proper care and maintenance.

Flexible partial dentures

Flexible partial dentures are a form of partial denture. Made of nylon, they are designed to replace your remaining teeth.

But, unlike other types of partial dentures, they don’t have a metal clasp. In fact, flexible partial dentures consist of gum-colored clasps.

When it comes to choosing dentures, there is no one-size-fits-all formula. Different people need different types of dentures. Your dentist can examine your teeth and mouth and then craft a denture that suits your dental needs, mouth shape, and budget.
