A removable dental appliance called a denture is used to replace lost teeth and the tissue around them. They are made to look a lot like your real teeth, and they might even make your smile look better.

Full and partial teeth are the two kinds of dentures.

  • When all of your teeth are gone, you use a complete denture
  • When some natural teeth are still there, you use a partial denture.
  • A partial denture not only fills in the gaps left by lost teeth, but it also keeps the other teeth from moving.

You can get a complete denture in two ways: “conventional” or “immediate.”

After the teeth are taken out and the gums have healed, which usually takes 4 to 6 weeks, a standard type is made. The person will not have any teeth during this time. Immediate dentures are made ahead of time and put in right away after the teeth are taken out. This way, the patient doesn’t have to go without teeth while they heal. Changes will need to be made after the tissues shrink and heal.

Dentures are very strong and will last for many years, but they may need to be redone, fixed, or repositioned after a while because of normal wear and tear. At Complete Dental Care, Dr Vinod Khanna is a denture specialist you can trust on for quality dentures.

When to Get Dentures

When all of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw have been lost or some teeth in the upper or lower jaw have been lost, Dentures can help you smile and look better. They can also help you chew, speak, and eat food better.

The Process of Getting Dentures

To get dentures, you have to go to a few visits spread out over a few weeks. To make your custom denture, very exact moulds and measurements are made of your teeth. It might take more than one “try-in” session to get the right shape, colour, and fit. At the last visit, we’ll carefully adjust and place the finished denture to make sure it fits naturally and comfortably.

It is normal to have more saliva, some pain, and maybe trouble speaking and chewing at first. These effects will go away as your muscles and tissues get used to the new teeth.

You will be told how to take care of your new teeth. Your new dentures will last longer if you clean them properly, take care of your teeth, and go to the dentist regularly.

Limitations with Dentures

Even though great care is taken to make sure your denture works well, please remember that there is no such thing as a perfect denture. It may take a few visits to the dentist and some time for you and your new denture to get used to each other after it is delivered. The most important thing to remember is that getting used to your new teeth is a process that can take some time.

Your eating and talking habits may also change after getting a new denture, and you may need to practice a bit before you get used to it.

Finally, a lower denture might be harder to keep in place than an upper denture because of the way the lips are shaped and how the tongue and cheek muscles move a lot.
