Full dentures or complete dentures are used to replace a full arch of missing teeth, enabling proper function for eating while creating a beautiful smile. These dentures fit in the mouth, with suction retention to the soft tissue/ gums. Full dentures are able to be removed for simple cleaning. It is recommended that your dentures are checked and cleaned annually by your clinician.
If you have lost your smile because of a few missing teeth, you can show off your pearly whites once again with a set of full dentures. Many people who have lost teeth find it hard to eat or speak properly too, when you have these gaps filled, you can once again chew food properly, and your speech will improve. At Wilson Denture Design, we believe in brightening the smiles of those who have lost theirs.
Full dentures, or complete dentures, are a removable device that can be used to replace missing teeth. The denture teeth can be made out of different material but most commonly acrylic and are held together by an acrylic base.
Full dentures may be needed when you lose all of your teeth and they can help fill out your smile, and leave you feeling more confident.
There are two types of dentures available: Removable dentures and Fixed (Implant Overdentures) Dentures. Implant Overdentures are usually used when you have ill-fitting dentures (mainly lower), and normal conventional dentures are not helping. Metal screws, normally titanium are placed in your jaw to which the dentures get made to ‘clip’ on. The dentures on Implant Overdentures are however still removable and it is necessary to take out at night.
Your choice of denture design and quality will determine the price you pay for your new fittings. When choosing the right denture for you, take into consideration the type of quality you want but also what your budget will allow. Here is what you should know about the different types of dentures:
● Double-layered acrylic. These dentures are often the most basic. They look pleasing and are durable. They are perfect if you can’t afford more expensive dentures but still want a million-dollar smile.
● Cross-linked resin dentures. These dentures are more realistic. They are slightly more expensive than the basic dentures but are more durable and come in various shades.
● Nanohybrid composite. These are the crème de la crème of dentures. They are plaque- and abrasion-resistant, they will last longer, and are made of high-quality materials.
