Dentures
![]() What are Dentures?A denture is a set of artificial teeth and the tissue around it that replaces missing teeth and surrounding gum tissue. It is a removable appliance, allowing you to remove them when sleeping for optimal comfort. You can opt for complete or partial dentures depending upon how many teeth you are missing. Your dentist may recommend you leave some teeth to preserve the bone. If you have a healthy partial set of teeth, they will suggest you get partial dentures to replace the few that have fallen out. If you have no teeth at all, you will need a full set of teeth. A dentist may also recommend you get a full set of teeth if you have only one or two remaining teeth that are not benefiting the dental structure in any way. Types of DenturesThere are two main types of dentures: conventional and Immediate.
Though conventional dentures take longer, they are a better option. Your gums shrink when they are done healing, and thus immediate dentures may come loose or will be uncomfortable tight during the healing period. Dentures Care and MaintenanceDentures are to be cared for, much like normal teeth. However, they are removable appliances and have some extra maintenance steps that you need to pay attention to.
