What are the different types of dentures?
There are several types of dentures available to meet different needs:
- Full Dentures: These replace all the teeth in either the upper or lower jaw or both. They consist of a flesh-colored acrylic base that fits over your gums with a complete set of artificial teeth.
- Partial Dentures: These dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. They consist of artificial teeth attached to a gum-colored base, held in place by metal clasps or precision attachments connected to the natural teeth.
- Immediate Dentures: These are temporary dentures placed immediately after teeth removal, allowing you to have teeth while your permanent dentures are being made.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: These dentures are anchored to dental implants, providing a more secure fit and better function. They can be used for both full and partial dentures.
- Overdentures: These fit over a small number of remaining natural teeth or dental implants, offering increased stability and support.
Each type of denture is designed to restore your smile and improve oral functionality. Your dentist will help determine the best option for your specific needs.
