What Are Dentures?
They are prosthetic dental devices used in replacing missing teeth and the related tissues. Their designs are specially tailored for patients, and dentures are most often made out of acrylic materials, metal, or a combination of both.
According to the dental conditions, various types of dentures exist – complete dentures are used by patients who want full replacement for their teeth, and partial dentures for those losing only some teeth.
- Complete Dentures: These replace all your teeth in the upper or lower jaw.
- Removable Partial Denture (RPD): Used when some natural teeth remain. This type of denture can be easily removed for cleaning.
- Flexible Dentures: A comfortable and lightweight option made from flexible material.
- Implant-Supported Overdenture: A more stable option that attaches to dental implants.
- Artificial Teeth Set: A set of teeth made to look like natural teeth for a more aesthetic appearance.
Why You May Need Dentures
Dentures are often necessary for those who have lost their natural teeth due to several reasons, such as:
- Severe decay or damage
- Gum disease leading to tooth loss
- Accidents or injury
- Old age leading to tooth loss
If you find yourself avoiding social situations or struggling with eating and speaking because of missing teeth, dentures can help restore your confidence and quality of life.
Symptoms Indicating the Need for Dentures
You may require dentures if you have any of the following symptoms:
- You have difficulty chewing or speaking
- You have missing teeth or gaps in your smile
- You have pain or discomfort from missing teeth
- You feel self-conscious about tooth loss
- You have swollen or inflamed gums due to poorly fitting teeth
Before and After Dentures
Complete Denture Steps: The Process
The process of getting dentures is a multi-step process to ensure the best fit and functionality:
- Consultation and Examination: Your dentist will assess your oral health and recommend the best option for you—whether it’s a complete denture, partial denture, or an implant-supported overdenture.
- Impressions: Detailed impressions of your gums and mouth are taken to create a custom mold for your dentures.
- Try-In: A trial fitting ensures your dentures are comfortable and that the bite is correct.
- Final Prosthesis: Once adjusted, your dentures will be fitted and you will be trained on how to properly care for them.
If you choose to have implant-supported dentures, then some extra steps would include placing dental implants. These implants would be used as a base for the overdenture.
Types of Dentures and Their Benefits
There are several types of dentures. They include:
- Conventional Dentures: These are removable appliances placed in your mouth after all the teeth are removed, and the tissues around the teeth and gums have healed, which may take several weeks.
- Immediate Dentures: These are placed and fixed the same day your remaining teeth are removed. You will have an initial visit for taking measurements and preparing models of your jaw. The healing time does not leave you toothless. However, the denture will have to be relined after your jaw heals.
- Overdenture: In some cases, part of your natural teeth can be put back in to retain the bone of your jaw, stability, and provide support for the denture. An overdenture fits on a few natural teeth after these have been prepared by the dentist. Dental implants have exactly the same function as well.
Even with dentures, oral hygiene has to be maintained. Brushing of the teeth, gum tissues, the surface of the tongue, and the roof of the mouth with a soft-bristled brush is essential to stimulate blood circulation in the gum tissues and remove plaque.
Possible Side Effects of Dentures
Even though dentures come with many advantages, some patients may experience minor side effects as well initially, such as:
- Gum irritation or tenderness that disappears after some time.
- Difficulty in chewing or speaking, especially during the initial adjustment period.
- Denture stomatitis: Inflammation or infection caused by poor hygiene or ill-fitting dentures.
Benefits of Dentures
- Restored Functionality: With dentures, you can enjoy eating, speaking, and smiling with confidence.
- Aesthetic Improvement: Dentures are designed to closely resemble natural teeth, improving your appearance.
- Comfort: With the advent of flexible dentures and implant-supported dentures, comfort is maximized.
- Easy Maintenance: Denture cleaning tablets and adhesives make caring for your dentures hassle-free.
Precautions to Take with Dentures
To ensure your dentures last longer and remain effective:
- Clean your dentures daily with a soft brush and use denture cleaning tablets to maintain hygiene.
- Avoid using regular toothpaste, as it can damage the surface.
- Use denture adhesive if required for better fit and comfort.
- Get regular checkups at your dentist for adjustment or replacement.
- Store your dentures in water when not in use to avoid them from getting dry.
