Know The Distinct Types Of Dentures

The types of different type of dentures are:

• Complete Dentures: As the name suggests, Complete Dentures are used when either all or most of the natural teeth are missing in the patient's mouth. They exist in two subtypes: Conventional Dentures and Immediate Dentures.

  Typically, Complete Dentures are fixed after the extraction of teeth.

  Conventional Dentures are a permanent solution for your missing teeth, and they are made to order and highly customized to match your specific teeth requirements. It usually comes in a pink plastic base that matches your natural gum color. The lead time for getting a customized conventional denture last from 8 to 12 weeks.

  Immediate Dentures are temporary solutions for covering and sealing the extracted missing teeth and gums and they are readily available in standard sizes, can be fitted immediately after the teeth are removed. This is one of the reasons why Immediate Dentures cannot offer that comfortable and tailored fit for your missing teeth.

• Partial dentures:

  Partial dentures are artificial replacement of teeth that restore a few missing teeth in a patient’s mouth and the surrounding tissues in the oral cavity. Partial denture may replace a few missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw.

  • Cast metal partial denture
  • Flexible partial denture
  • Acrylic partial denture

• Implant-Retained Dentures:

  Implant-Retained Dentures, also known popularly as Over-Dentures are regarded as one of the greatest innovations for tooth restoration and they have a high success rate. They are anchored to the dental implants to restore the normal function of your natural teeth and they last for a long term. Dental Implants are known to offer a strong foundation for anchoring Implant-Retained Dentures.

• Snap-in Dentures:

  These are removable mini dentures without the roof of the palate, and they are known to offer higher stability than Conventional Dentures. There are many upsides of using snap-in-dentures as tooth replacements for your missing teeth. They enhance the ability to speak freely without any hassles.

What are Dentures Made Of?

Dentures are made from a variety of dental materials including acrylic, nylon, porcelain, resin, or metal. The denture framework is generally made from acrylic, nylon, or metal. The specific materials used to fabricate denture framework will depend upon the type of denture you are having placed. For example, partial dentures may use metal clips with an acrylic base, while full dentures can be made from acrylic but may use acrylic or metal gum attachments. Nylon may also be used in place of acrylic.

Along with the denture framework comes the false teeth themselves. False teeth for dentures can be made from resin or porcelain. Both have a natural appearance, however porcelain has both the color and texture of natural teeth. Porcelain is also used for its durability.
