Your New Smile May Take Some Getting Used To
Dentures in South Pasadena will take some getting used to for new wearers.
Once you receive your new false teeth, the effort for a fully functioning smile doesn’t end with the dentist. After wearing your dentures you may experience a little trouble getting used to them and the way they fit. Speech and chewing difficulty are not uncommon for new denture wearers, as well as increased production of saliva. Just remember that time will eventually allow you to feel comfortable in your dentures once you have had plenty of experience wearing them during your daily activities.
Types Of Dentures
We want to help you choose the option that’s right for you.
Complete Dentures
The majority of people consider complete dentures to be dentures. Every tooth in your mouth or arch is replaced by these removable fake teeth. Traditional dentures hold a full set of porcelain or plastic teeth on a base made of gum-colored plastic. They are constructed specifically for your mouth using molds created after your denture was removed. Your dentures should be completely snug against your gums and secure even in the absence of denture adhesive.
Partial Dentures
Not everyone needs to have all or the majority of their teeth replaced. A partial denture is a fantastic solution for people who just require replacements for a few teeth in the same area of the mouth. Similar to complete dentures, the replacement teeth, which are frequently made of acrylic or porcelain, will be fastened to a pink plastic foundation. To keep partial dentures in place when speaking and eating, metal clasps are used to attach them to the teeth on either side of the gap left by a missing tooth.
Immediate Dentures
Immediate dentures, also known as temporary dentures, are manufactured before you have your teeth extracted. You might leave your removal with brand-new teeth if you have instant dentures. Unlike the case with permanent dentures, when the molds are created after the extraction. However, if your gums and bones change with time, you might need to have your immediate dentures changed or corrected.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Dentures that are supported by implants are an option for patients who wish their speech and bite to be more stable. Implants are surgically fixed metal posts or screws that bond to your jawbone. They are attached to your dentures by a component referred to as an abutment. Your replacement teeth are removable even though the implants are not, making them just as simple to keep and clean as traditional dentures. A denture supported by implants looks and functions quite naturally.
