Dentures in Miami Lakes, FL
Dentures can be defined as artificial teeth and gums customized according to your mouth’s shape so that they fit perfectly. Your dentist creates them to replace your missing natural teeth. Depending on the number of teeth you miss, you can have partial or complete dentures. If you take partial dentures, they can be made to match the aesthetics of your remaining natural teeth.
In today’s time, dentures are generally made of hard resin, which needs to be replaced every five years or so. The dentures are either removable or fixed with the help of implants. Maintaining and cleaning removable dentures is easier, while implant-supported dentures are very stable.
Why wear dentures?
Dentures can prove to be helpful in several ways:
- It helps to improve the appearance of your smile.
- It restores the structure of your face and makes you look younger.
- It restores your bite and makes chewing easier.
- It helps you to speak properly.
If you have broken or rotten teeth that have been damaged beyond repair, your dentist might suggest tooth extraction and replace the missing teeth with dentures. Getting dentures would mean that your troublesome and painful teeth are replaced with a beautiful alternative.
What are the types of dentures?
- Partial dentures- They are used when a few of your teeth are missing, and you do not have healthy neighboring teeth to support structures like dental bridges.
- Full dentures- It is used when all of your natural teeth are missing. They are easily removable and can be cleaned or maintained without much worry.
- Immediate dentures and overdentures- Immediate dentures are put on immediately after tooth extraction and stay there throughout the healing period. They can easily accommodate changes due to gum swelling or subsiding jaws due to healing. Overdentures are used in case permanent dentures prove to be uncomfortable for you. They are very comfortable and also easily removable.
- Implant-supported dentures- These are permanent dentures that remain fixed and work just like your natural teeth.
