Key Differences Between Full and Partial Dentures
(firmenpresse) - RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/24/12 -- Many people are unsure about their options when considering . Both partial and full dentures offer a good solution for missing teeth. Best of all, you can enjoy eating and smiling again without being self-conscious. But, what are the differences between these types of dentures, and which is right for you?
are an option when some healthy teeth remain. Partials are removable and sometimes called a removable bridge. They differ from fixed bridges, which are permanently attached to the adjacent remaining teeth. Using an acrylic or metal frame, partials have small clasps that snap onto to your remaining teeth and fill in the spaces with denture teeth.
Full dentures are a solution when all the teeth are missing or will be removed. When the upper and/or lower teeth are already missing, your dentist will create what's called a traditional denture. If you need tooth extractions, the dentist will take an impression of your mouth before removing the teeth. He or she will place an immediate denture in your mouth following the extractions.
After complete healing, you may need a traditional denture to replace the immediate. If the appearance and function of the immediate denture are acceptable, the denture can be relined (refitted) to the healed gums.
Immediate dentures will need adjustments as your gum tissue and jawbone heal from the extractions; however, all dentures require periodic adjustments. Dentures should be relined about every two to three years and replaced every five to seven years. Without natural teeth, the remaining bone level will shrink, which causes dentures to become loose and fit poorly over time.
There are many reasons for tooth loss, but it's important that you don't delay in getting treatment. Missing teeth can cause a number of oral health problems. A nearby Affordable Dentures dentist can help you decide which denture option is best for you.
