There are two types of dentures - complete and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when all of the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. A Partial denture not only fills in the spaces created by missing teeth, it can also prevent other teeth from shifting.

A Complete denture may be either conventional or immediate. A conventional full denture is made after the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has healed, usually taking several months.During this time the patient will go without teeth. Healing time varies from patient to patient, and will be evaluated by your dentist during the healing phase.

Even though dentures are not real teeth, you should care for them like they are. Always brush them to remove plaque and food particles before removing your dentures. After they have been removed you should place them directly into room temperature water or a denture cleaning solution. Never use hot water because it could warp the dentures. Your dentures are delicate, so make sure you are careful when handling them so you don't drop them. Also, never try to adjust your dentures yourself as you could cause permanent damage. Always see your dentist if they feel uncomfortable or loose. Your dentist can adjust them properly.
