What are they?
There are two types of dentures available: full and partial.
Full Dentures are used when all natural teeth are missing or have been removed. Conventional full dentures are fitted after the gums have fully healed, which can take several months. Immediate full dentures are placed right after tooth extraction and may require adjustments initially.
Partial Dentures consist of fake teeth attached to an acrylic or metal base that fits in between natural teeth. This removable option is used to fill in gaps where permanent teeth are missing, providing an alternative to a dental bridge.
Bridges
If you have missing teeth, a dental bridge can be a great solution to restore your smile and support the natural shape of your face. By filling in the gaps left by missing teeth, a bridge can help evenly distribute the pressure of your bite, reducing strain on your remaining teeth.
There are various materials available for your bridge, such as gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. Your dentist will help you choose the best option based on your individual needs and preferences.
It's important to keep in mind that the success and longevity of your bridge depend on the overall health of your surrounding teeth, gums, and jawbone. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices are crucial for maintaining the health of your mouth and ensuring the longevity of your bridge. By taking care of your oral health, you can enjoy a beautiful, functional smile for years to come.
