What You Should Know About Replacing Teeth with Dentures

Choosing Dentures for Teeth Replacement

Tooth loss meddles with the aesthetic appearance of our teeth, as well as speech clarity and successful eating habits. In such situations, dentures are a great solution for those in need of replacing all or some teeth. Dentures are removable appliances. Patients can choose from a complete or partial set. Learn more about dentures in Weston by reading on below, and schedule a consultation today.

Complete Dentures

A complete set is suggested when a patient is missing all of their teeth.

Partial Dentures

A partial set is used when a patient needs to replace some teeth in an arch, but not all.

These different sets are further narrowed into different types. Patients should consider the following types:

Conventional

This set is custom-made after gums have healed from final tooth extraction.

Immediate

Patients receive their set the same day as teeth are extracted. However, readjustment will later be needed.

Overdenture

These offer great support as they attach to existing healthy teeth or dental implants.

Adapting to Dentures

Patients get accustomed to the feel of dentures after a few days of wearing them. Nonetheless, you will notice a great improvement with speaking clearer and chewing food. Adapting to dentures also include maintenance. Fortunately, dentures are simple to clean. Handle them with care and brush the set twice a day. Also, store them in clean water when not in use. In addition, our Weston dentist recommends gently cleaning your gums, palate, and tongue twice a day to prevent bad breath and sores. Also, brush any existing teeth as normal.
