Of all the things that can go wrong with our teeth, losing a permanent tooth is perhaps the most distressing. Youre losing the very structure that helps you in chewing, pronouncing your words, and maintaining a presentable smile on your face. Just the cosmetic aspect of tooth loss alone compels people to seek a remedy for it.
Regardless of whether your tooth loss was a consequence of gum disease or injury, you can find a solution in dental dentures. A denture is an artificial structure of teeth and gums that can be placed in the area youre missing teeth. Since dentures are removable, you can take them off easily before you head to bed or when you need to clean them. And while they cant make up for missing teeth completely, dentures still provide some of the regular functions of natural teeth to an extent.
Your dentist will use a metal or plastic tray to place the alginate material over your teeth, which hardens quickly in a few minutes. Once done, it takes the form of your dental anatomy, which makes the next step easier. Usually, in a laboratory, the final material that will create your denture is then poured into this impression, and the process is thus completed.
Dentures can be made of a variety of materials, including resin, porcelain, and plastic. When you get a dental impression, the process is usually painless, but some people report having their gag reflex triggered.
A common way to categorize dentures is how much area theyre going to occupy. Partial denturesare placed on only a part of your gum line and fastened to nearby teeth. Youll require such a denture when you have only a few teeth missing from the teeth row.
Complete or full dentures, on the other hand, are used when youre missing an entire row of teeth. You can have one fitted for your top or bottom gum line. Theyre placed into your mouth by way of an oral adhesive or suction.
