What is better than having a set of fully functioning teeth that will look and feel like Hollywood’s brightest and pearly white smile! A modern day denture is exactly what you may need.

WHY?

Are you troubled with a missing tooth? Does it leave a gap between your teeth? Are you embarrassed to smile and laugh openly? Well, if that’s the case, it is time you visit a denture clinic. 

Dentures, in simple words are replacement for natural teeth. It is not permanently attached to the jawbone or natural teeth. Many people avoid the idea of getting dentures because of misconceptions about the look and feel of the ‘false teeth’. Today, with modern dental care, a denture can look and feel like your natural teeth.

An experienced and specialized dental clinic, such as Shore Denture Clinic in Edmonton will ensure that you enjoy a natural look with comfort.

Types of dentures

Dentures are used to replace either all or some of your teeth. There are basically two types of dentures, known as the complete and partial denture.

Partial Dentures

Also known as bridges are ideal for the replacement of few missing teeth. They don’t replace the natural teeth but replace the missing ones with artificial teeth. They are then carefully attached to the flexible frame of plastic. A partial denture may be fixed for some patients and doesn’t have to be removed during the night. While for some it would have to be removed and cleaned routinely. The decision is made on the recommendation of the denturist and the specific case.

Complete Dentures

They are usually recommended when almost all of the natural teeth are missing in the upper or lower jaw. These dentures are offered in two types, the conventional procedure or the immediate. A Conventional denture procedure is ready for replacement after the teeth have been removed from the gum, and the gum tissues have completely healed. The procedure for conventional denture would take almost 8 to 12 weeks after the teeth’s have been fully extracted from the gums.

In case of the immediate dentures, these are made prior the teeth’s extraction, so that they can be replaced as soon as the old teeth are out. The bright side is that you have teeth replaced sooner, as compared to the conventional process that keeps your dentures away for almost up to 12 weeks!

How to take care of your dentures?

Surprisingly, dentures are super easy to take care of. It is not necessary to take them out at night, during bed time.

As you would brush your teeth, you need to brush your dentures. Wearing dentures for long might create some strong stain marks on your teeth that are difficult to scrub off with brushing. For this reason, you visit your denturist and ask for a deep clean so as to get those hard stains off your dentures!

Wearing dentures does not mean that you can cheat on your timely dental checkups. Healthy oral care is still as important as it was when you had natural teeth, and to maintain the healthiness, you should religiously follow dental care visits. With time and age, the overall face of your jaw or gums may alter and it may worry you since your dentures may no more fit to the changed figure of your mouth. Visiting a denturist at the earliest will help you with any developments that may potentially occur.
