Dentures
Cosmetic Dentist in Sunset, FL
With aging, people are prone to losing their teeth. It can happen due to weakened gums or other medical issues. It not only hampers the aesthetics but also interferes with various oral functionalities like chewing, speaking, etc. A denture is a removable appliance that replaces missing teeth and surrounding tissues. It is both functional and aesthetic.
Types of Dentures
There are two types of dentures: complete and partial dentures.
- Complete Dentures are used when all of the teeth are missing. They can either be made after teeth have been removed and healing of the gum tissues have occurred or in advance to be delivered the same day the teeth are removed. As a result, the wearer does not have to be without teeth during the healing period.
- Partial Dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. Not only does a partial denture fill in the spaces created by missing teeth, but it also prevents other teeth from changing position. These dentures can also be used during the healing phase before receiving a fixed bridge or implant crowns.
