Dentures |

| If
you’ve lost all of your
natural teeth, whether from periodontal
disease, tooth decay or injury,
complete dentures can replace
your missing teeth and your smile.
Replacing missing teeth will benefit
your appearance and your health.
Without support from the denture,
facial muscles sag, making a person
look older. You’ll be able
to eat and speak—things
that people often take for granted
until their natural teeth are
lost. |
| There are various
types of complete dentures. A
conventional full denture is made
and placed in the patient’s mouth
after the remaining teeth are
removed and tissues have healed
which may take several months.
An immediate complete denture
is inserted as soon as the remaining
teeth are removed.The dentist
takes measurements and makes models
of the patient’s jaws during
a preliminary visit. With immediate
dentures, the denture wearer does
not have to be without teeth during
the healing period. |
| Even if you wear full dentures, you still must take good care of your mouth. Brush your gums, tongue and palate every morning with a soft-bristled brush before you insert your dentures to stimulate circulation in your tissues and help remove plaque. |
