What are the Types of Dentures?

Unfortunately, you may lose a tooth to decay, post-infectious extraction, or old age. By using artificial restorations known as dental prosthetics to fill in and replace the gaps, dentures restore both the structure and functionality of your lost tooth. Your dentures will either be put in place fixed with dental implants or be removable. The two primary types of this procedure include

For the ones missing a couple of teeth, partial dentures are nothing but the missing puzzle pieced to complete your dream smile. They are in fact, anchored to the natural set of teeth, working alongside your existing intact teeth, maintaining balance and functionality.

Partial dentures can be either removable or fixed. If you want more flexibility and ease of care, the removable partials option is better. Dentists make use of a plastic framework or sturdy metal piece to help them stay in place. They might be a bit risky in terms that these removable ones if not put in place correctly may slip out in the mouth.

On the other hand, fixed partials use crowns on their neighboring set of teeth to make a dental bridge. If you take proper care of your fixed partials, they can last well enough for many years.

Also called, full dentures are necessary when you need to replace a whole set of teeth. There are two types under this category as well- conventional and immediate dentures. Conventional dentures are put in place to restore comfort and function after all the teeth have been extracted and the gums have healed for 2-3 months. On the other hand, immediate dentures are placed right after the extraction process. Certainly, they are not a permanent solution and are only used while a custom set of teeth is being prepared.
