Dentures

Dentures are false teeth that are used to replace missing teeth. They can be either complete, which replace all of the teeth in one jaw, or partial, which replace one or a few teeth.

Dentures are made of a variety of materials, including acrylic, nylon, and metal. They are held in place by suction or by clasps that grip the remaining teeth.

There are two main types of dentures: removable and fixed. Removable dentures can be taken out and put back in, while fixed dentures are cemented in place.

Removable dentures are the most common type of denture. They are relatively easy to care for and can be adjusted if they become loose. However, they can also be uncomfortable and may not fit as well as fixed dentures.

Fixed dentures are less common than removable dentures, but they are more comfortable and provide a better fit. However, they are also more expensive and require more dental work to be placed.

There are many reasons why someone might need dentures. Some of the most common reasons include:

• Tooth loss: Dentures are often used to replace teeth that have been lost due to decay, gum disease, or injury.
• Cancer treatment: Dentures may be needed after cancer treatment that has damaged the jawbone.
• Congenital defects: Some people are born with missing teeth, and dentures can be used to replace them.

If you are considering dentures, there are a few things you should keep in mind:

• The cost: The cost of dentures varies depending on the type of dentures you choose and the dentist who makes them.
• The time commitment: It takes time to adjust to dentures. You may experience some discomfort at first, and you will need to learn how to care for them properly.
• The maintenance: Dentures need to be cleaned and cared for regularly. You will also need to have them adjusted periodically as your jawbone changes.

If you are considering dentures, talk to your dentist about the best type of dentures for you. They can help you decide if dentures are right for you and can answer any questions you have.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind about dentures:

• Dentures can help you improve your appearance and your ability to eat and speak.
• Dentures can help you maintain the health of your jawbone.
• Dentures need to be cared for properly to prevent them from becoming damaged.
• Dentures may not be a permanent solution for tooth loss. You may need to have them replaced or repaired as they wear out.
