What are Dentures?
Dentures are either full dentures – replaces missing teeth or partial dentures which replace one or more missing teeth.
They can be made from hard plastic – usually full dentures, or a metal skeleton based which are better as they are supported by the other teeth and gums, thus preventing stripping of the gums after a number of years which is what happens with hard plastic partial dentures long term.
What are the disadvantages of Dentures?
Can lead to loss of the remaining teeth and end up with full dentures.
Are Dentures Comfortable?
Valplast or flexible plastic dentures (partial dentures only) fit snugly against remaining teeth and are more comfortable and tighter fit.
Do dentures look false?
Any Denture- full or partial does not have to ‘look false’ but retention (tightness) is always an issue and most denture wearers complain of loose dentures and soreness from time to time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Dentures in Birmingham
What are dentures?
Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They can be full dentures, used when all teeth are missing, or partial dentures, used when some natural teeth remain. Dentures help restore basic functions such as eating and speaking while improving the appearance of the smile.
What types of dentures are available?
There are different types of dentures available, including full dentures, partial dentures, and flexible dentures. The most suitable option depends on how many teeth are missing, the condition of remaining teeth, and personal comfort preferences. A dental assessment helps determine which type offers the best fit and function.
Are dentures comfortable to wear?
Modern dentures are designed to be more comfortable and natural-looking than older styles. While there may be an adjustment period as your mouth adapts, most patients become comfortable with regular wear over time. Proper fitting and follow-up appointments play an important role in improving comfort and stability.
Do dentures look natural?
Dentures can be made to closely match the shape, size, and colour of natural teeth. When properly designed and fitted, they can look very natural and enhance facial support. Advances in materials and techniques allow dentures to blend well with your smile rather than appearing artificial.
How do I begin treatment for dentures?
Beginning denture treatment starts with a comprehensive consultation to assess your oral health, remaining teeth, and overall suitability. During this visit, the different denture options available, expected comfort, and long-term maintenance will be explained so you can make an informed decision.
