If you are considering getting dentures you may wish to know more about how dentures work and how they can benefit you. This article will help you better understand what getting dentures will be like and what comes next.
Dentures are recommended to patients to replace damaged or missing teeth. Dentures help to improve chewing ability, speech and restore the smile. There are different types of dentures, including removable and fixed. Fixed dentures not only restore function and aesthetics but also remove the discomfort associated with ill-fitting removable dentures.
Brand new dentures can provide you with a great set of replacement teeth that leave you feeling confident in your smile, your speech and your ability to chew food properly. Depending on the dentures you need, the costs will vary.
We recommend that you get new dentures at least every 5 years but if your dentures don’t fit right you should get them changed much sooner to avoid long-term problems with your gums and oral health.
Depending on why you need a denture repair, you may be able to wait a few days for an appointment or use a denture repair kit to temporarily fix your dentures until you can visit a professional.
Even when you have replaced your natural teeth with full or partial dentures, you will still need to have a professional dental check-up for similar reasons to when you had your natural teeth. Checkups are an essential part of ensuring your mouth stays healthy and can prevent small issues from become bigger
Acrylic dentures are made using a plastic that is easy to mould but sets very rigidly which makes them a popular choice for many denture wearers
Since denture implants (aka implant retained dentures) are highly durable, natural looking and well secured, they are becoming a popular alternative to traditional dentures.
But there is still some confusion about exactly how denture implants work and what the requirements are to get them.
At Kevin Manners Denture Clinics, our Clinical Dental Technician (CDT) George Manners, is often the first face that many patients meet throughout their denture journey. So what does a CDT like George do?
Implant retained dentures (aka denture implants) are dentures that are supported by titanium metal rods attached to the jaw bone. These implants are permanent and can be used to support full, partial and single tooth dentures.
