Dentures are an option for people who have lost all of their teeth. Precisely designed and molded to fit one’s mouth, full dentures fit over the gums and are held in place with strong cheek and mouth muscles. They allow for comfortable chewing and keep the mouth and it’s surrounding facial features in proper alignment.
Partial or removable dentures fill gaps left by missing teeth. Partial dentures are held in place with metal clasps or precision (tooth-colored, discreet clasps) that are attached to natural teeth. Usually made of resin or metal, partial dentures allow more comfortable and effective chewing, improve speech, and prevent sagging of the cheeks and lips. There is a belief among many that once a person has dentures, they no longer need regular dental care. Denture wearers require regular exams to ensure their health, comfort, and appearance. Gum tissues are in a constant state of change. Periodic relining of the dentures may be necessary to ensure a tight and comfortable fit.
