Dr. Don S Moore understands the day to day difficulties people have
when they are missing teeth. These gaps make it difficult to chew and to
speak. Tooth loss also causes facial muscles to sag, which results in
premature aging. Missing a large number of teeth can change your life,
therefore there are several things that you should know about dentures
and how to get them.
The first question that should be answered is what exactly dentures are. A denture is a removable frame that holds one or more teeth. There are two major types of denture. The first is a full denture, which replaces all of your teeth. This type of denture sits directly on top of your gums after all of your remaining teeth have been removed. A conventional full denture is not used until your gums are fully healed from tooth removal. With this type of denture, you may be without teeth for several months. An immediate full denture is inserted immediately after tooth removal, however this type needs to be realigned after several months.
The second type of denture is a partial denture. This style uses a metal frame that rests on your natural teeth. It only replaces a few teeth, and is ideal for people who still have several healthy teeth. A partial denture is a removable alternative to dental bridges.
Dentures solve the day to day complications that tooth loss cause. Dr Don S Moore always has a ton of information on dentures for his patients.
