Which Type of Dentures Are Best: What You Should Consider

Dentures come in different shapes and sizes to cater to various needs and preferences. The following are the denture options you should know about.

• Full dentures: These are the correct option if you have lost all of your teeth in one arch or both. These dentures have a set of artificial teeth mounted on a gum-colored base. Complete dentures can be either immediate or traditional. Immediate dentures are placed right after extracting your teeth. These dentures allow you to maintain your oral function and appearance as your gums heal. Conventional dentures are fitted after your gums have healed, providing a more permanent and customized fit. However, they may need slight adjustments over time due to changes in the jawbone. 
• Partial dentures are a conservative solution if you have lost some teeth but still have natural teeth remaining. They are supported by the neighboring teeth with a removable metal framework, so you can take them out when you want. 

Dentures can be removable or fixed. Some patients like removable dentures because they are easy to maintain. Unfortunately, these dentures can move or even fall out when eating, talking, or speaking. Many patients prefer fixed dentures because they do not require adhesives or suction for support. Fixed dentures are anchored in the jawbone using implants, providing a stable and reliable solution for tooth loss.
