DENTURES
Complete and Partial


A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Two types of dentures are available – complete and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when all the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain.



Complete (Full) Dentures There are two different types of complete dentures; immediate and conventional. Immediate dentures are typically made when the patients existing natural teeth are being removed and the new dentures are delivered the day of the extractions.

Conventional dentures are typically made when existing dentures are being replaced. A conventional denture is ready for placement in the mouth about 8 to 12 weeks after the teeth have been removed.

Unlike conventional dentures, immediate dentures are made in advance and can be positioned as soon as the teeth are removed. As a result, the wearer does not have to be without teeth during the healing period. However, bones and gums shrink over time, especially during the healing period following tooth removal. Therefore a disadvantage of immediate dentures compared with conventional dentures is that they require more adjustments to fit properly during the healing process and generally should only be considered a temporary solution until conventional dentures can be made.

Partial Dentures A removable partial denture or bridge usually consists of replacement teeth attached to a pink or gum-colored plastic base, which is connected by metal framework that holds the denture in place in the mouth.







Partial dentures are used when one or more natural teeth remain in the upper or lower jaw. A fixed (permanent) bridge replaces one or more teeth by placing crowns on the teeth on either side of the space and attaching artificial teeth to them. This "bridge" is then cemented into place. Not only does a partial denture fill in the spaces created by missing teeth, it prevents other teeth from changing position. A precision partial denture is removable and has internal attachments rather than clasps that attach to the adjacent crowns. This is a more natural-looking appliance.

Are There Alternatives to Dentures? Yes, dental implants can be used to support permanently cemented bridges, eliminating the need for a denture. The cost is usually greater, but the implants and bridges more closely resemble the feel of real teeth. Dental implants are becoming the alternative to dentures but not everyone is a candidate for implants. Consult your dentist for advice.

WEARING DENTURES:

  • unless instructed otherwise, dentures/partials should not be worn at night; the oral tissues need time to rest,
  • when your dentures/partials are out of your mouth, they should be kept in a moist environment; place the denture/partial into the container provided and add a small amount of water,
  • do not place the denture/partial or container in direct sunlight or on any appliance that emits heat,
  • when wearing a lower complete denture, the tip of the tongue should rest on the front, inside plastic of the denture base just below the teeth.

CLEANING DENTURES:

  • your dentures should be thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis with a denture cleanser (cream or paste) and a brush; also, periodically soak your denture in a denture cleaner, such as Efferdent or Polident,
  • stubborn stains on complete dentures may be removed by soaking in a solution of 8 oz. water and one tablespoon of Clorox for 15 minutes; this should never be used on partial dentures (with metal clasps, etc. ),
  • remember to brush your ridges, palate and tongue,
  • clean your appliance over a bath basin that is partially filled with water (this will reduce the probability of breakage if you drop the appliance),
  • if your denture/partial has a soft liner, use a very soft brush and gently scrub the tissue bearing surface.

EATING WITH DENTURES:

  • adhere to a soft diet for the first 7-10 days; GO SLOW,
  • at first, rely on your knife and fork for most of your chewing; eat slowly and deliberately,
  • it is very important to chew your food bilaterally; divide your bite of food and chew on both sides,
  • front denture teeth are primarily for looks, it is rare to be able to eat com-on-the-cob and apples without difficulty.

PROBLEMS / SORE SPOTS WITH DENTURES:

  • you should expect a diminished biting force and a loss of touch and temperature sensations,
  • an increase in salivary flow, speech problems, gagging and biting the cheeks and tongue are normal adjustment problems; these will normally resolve within 6-8 weeks,
  • all dentures produce sore spots; when sore spots occur, you may remove your appliance and rinse your mouth with warm salt water, and always call the office for an adjustment visit; it is important to never attempt to correct the problems yourself.
