Talk to your dentist Long Island so you can get the dentures that are best for you. Dentures are detachable restorations for missing teeth. They are usually made from a gum colored plastic base, with artificial teeth positioned so they restore your smile and bite. They can be complete (replacing all teeth) or partial (replacing some teeth). Having missing teeth can make you feel self-conscious about your smile and make eating and speaking difficult.
Complete Dentures replace all of your teeth, upper or lower.Their comfort depends on muscle, bones, tongue, and saliva. Patients begin wearing conventional dentures after healing the teeth that were pulled. Upper Dentures, are usually a bit easier to adjust to. They’re made of the exact same materials as a Complete Denture, but are meant to provide you with upper teeth only.
A partial denture is made up of multiple artificial teeth attached to a gum colored base. It is held in the mouth by metal attachments that clip onto your natural teeth–the partial denture and your existing teeth fit together like a puzzle. If you are missing only a few teeth, this is the most inexpensive way to fix that problem. Let’s say that you are missing six teeth scattered around your mouth, both on the upper and lower arches. The Denture apparatus will come with six false teeth, while leaving open spaces for the natural teeth, which you still have. A great advantage to Partial Dentures is the ability to add false teeth to them. A partial denture is removable. Some people are wary of Partial Denture because of the brittle material used to make the base. This can sometimes break easily and takes a lot of getting used to. A recent breakthrough in the denture world was the creation of a nylon denture base. This really appeals to people who have problems wearing the brittle base. It is flexible and stable, providing comfort to its users. If your dentist tells you that some teeth may be falling out soon, you can arrange to have additional false teeth put onto your existing Partial Dentures.
Dentures are no longer the only method to restore a mouth that has little or no non-restorable teeth. Strategically placed support, or dental implants in Long Island, can now be used to support permanently cemented bridges, eliminating the need for a denture. The cost tends to be greater, but the implants and bridges more closely resemble the ‘feel’ of real teeth. Dental implants are becoming the alternative choice to dentures, although not everyone is a candidate for implants.
It’s important to go to your dentist Long Island on a regular basis to make sure that your dentures are in good condition and continue to fit your gums, as the shape of your gums and underlying bone can change with time. Loose fitting dentures can cause irritation and inflammation of your gums and problems with eating and speech. It is important to keep your dentures clean at all times. You should remove your dentures at night to give your gums “a rest” and the chance to be exposed to your natural saliva, which will keep them healthy.
