Full Dentures in Denver, CO
Full dentures are a common solution for people who have lost most or all of their natural teeth. They are prosthetic replacements that are custom-made, and can be removable or permanently affixed. Full dentures provide individuals with the confidence to eat, speak, and smile naturally again. With proper care and maintenance, they can last for many years.
What are Full Dentures?
Full dentures are prosthetic replacements for missing teeth. They are custom-made from acrylic resin and other materials, and can be either removable or permanently affixed. Removable dentures are held in place with a combination of natural suction, clasps that attach to the remaining teeth, and denture adhesive.
Permanent dentures are held in place with dental implants or bridges. Full dentures can provide a lifelike appearance and help restore natural functions such as speaking, chewing, and smiling. They also help to keep the facial muscles from sagging and give support to the lips and cheeks.
How are Full Denture Sets Made?
Full dentures are made by taking precise measurements of a person’s mouth. The dentist will create molds of the teeth and gums, which are then used to fabricate the denture. While the denture is being made, the patient may wear a temporary denture while they wait for their permanent one to be ready. Once the denture is complete, the patient will have a fitting to make sure it fits correctly and comfortably. During this time adjustments to the full dentures may take place.
The Difference Between Partial and Full Denture Implants
Partial dentures are prosthetic replacements for one or more missing teeth. They consist of a plate with replacement teeth that attach to the remaining natural teeth, and are removable. Full dentures, on the other hand, replace all of the teeth in a person’s mouth and are held in place either with clasps or implants. Full dentures are made from acrylic resin and other materials, while partial dentures may be made of metal or acrylic. Partial dentures are typically more affordable than full dentures, but full dentures provide a better fit and more substantial restoration of the bite.
Caring for Full Dentures
Full dentures require proper care and maintenance to ensure a long life and optimal function. The denture should be brushed daily with a soft toothbrush and denture cleaner to remove food particles and plaque. It should also be rinsed after each meal. The denture should be soaked in a denture cleaning solution overnight to prevent it from drying out and to remove any remaining residue. It is also important to visit the dentist for regular checkups and cleaning.
How Long Do Full Dentures Last?
Full dentures can last for many years if they are properly cared for and maintained. However, dentures do wear out over time, as the gums and jawbone change shape due to age or medical conditions. It is important to visit the dentist regularly so they can adjust the dentures if needed. The average lifespan of full dentures is 5 to 10 years, but with proper care and maintenance they can last even longer.
