Dentures in La Crête
If you are considering the possibility of dentures, you may find there are more options than you once thought. The main two options for an individual seeking dentures is partial and complete. It is important to research these two options to decide which one is a good fit for you. If you are still unsure, you can contact your La Crete dentist.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are designed to fill the space of multiple missing teeth but not all of your teeth in a gum line. This is an option for patients who wish to keep some of their teeth and prefer the option to remove the denture as they please. The partial denture does not require surgery making them a bit quicker to implement.
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures refer to a full set of replacement teeth, used in the lower or upper areas of the mouth to replace teeth that have been extracted due to serious gum disease or tooth decay.
Complete dentures can be immediate or conventional. If they require multiple visits they are considered conventional. Impressions are created after the teeth have been removed and the gums have healed. On the other hand, immediate dentures are ready even before the teeth are extracted. This way, the patient does not have to leave their local dental clinic without replacement teeth. These are readjusted once the gums have fully healed.
Different materials used to create dentures include metal, acrylic, and nylon. They can also be wax based to imitate the natural appearance of the teeth and gums.
