Should I go for full or partial Dentures?

 


Dentures are removable appliances to replace one or more missing teeth or all the teeth in your upper or lower jaw. Dentures that replace just one or more teeth are called partial dentures, while dentures replacing all your teeth are called full or complete dentures. Denture teeth are usually made from plastic or porcelain and are attached to a pink gum-colored acrylic base. Partial dentures can be held in place with special attachments or clasps that will fit around or onto existing teeth. They will often have a lightweight cobalt chrome alloy base which enables us to construct a thinner, stronger, and more comfortable appliance for you to wear. Full dentures normally just have an acrylic base that will rest on the gums or be supported with dental implants providing a stable yet still fully removable set of teeth. The Family Smiles Dental is suitably located at 1011 N Hwy 77, Ste 105, Waxahachie,  is the best option available and dental close to you.

You do need to keep your dentures thoroughly clean, either by using a proprietary denture cleaner and a denture brush. Do not use toothpaste or an ordinary toothbrush as these are too harsh and will damage the denture. Flexible partials are an alternative to both metal-based dentures and fixed restoration options, such as fixed dental bridges. While these dentures might come at a slightly higher cost, they offer many benefits. Even though flexible dentures are made from a lightweight material, they are very strong and durable and built to withstand stress and pressure in the mouth. Additionally, they are resistant to chemical deterioration.
