Eat And Smile In Comfort
Dentures replace a single tooth or multiple missing teeth and are ideal if you are considering a removable solution for your missing teeth.
They are long-lasting and can improve both your smile and your confidence, whilst at the same time restoring the natural function of your teeth.
Dentures are an affordable way to restore a smile lost to missing teeth. If you require a removable solution to restore your smile, dentures could be the ideal solution for your teeth.
Dentures are appliances designed to replace missing teeth and can be used in that capacity as a partial solution, to replace 2 or 3 teeth that sit side by side, or they can be used as a full denture, replacing the entire upper or lower row of teeth. Made of metal or plastic acrylic, dentures can be colour-matched to your existing teeth and are designed to ensure the greatest level of functionality and a natural appearance.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF DENTURES?
There are many types of denture solutions that can be designed for your requirements. Our dentists at Gargrave Dental Practice deliver bespoke, natural, and comfortable dentures that can solve the problem of missing teeth.
The most common types of dentures are:
These are traditional dentures that are placed in the mouth after all teeth have been removed. They are custom-made to fit your mouth and are held in place by suction or with the help of denture adhesive.
Immediate dentures are temporary removable dental prosthetics inserted immediately after tooth extraction. They serve as a temporary solution until permanent dentures are ready. They maintain aesthetics and function during the healing process.
Partial dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace one or several missing teeth in a dental arch. They consist of artificial teeth attached to a metal or acrylic framework, which clasps onto existing teeth for support, restoring chewing function and enhancing aesthetics.
These are dentures that fit over remaining natural teeth or over dental implants. They provide a secure and stable fit and can help to preserve your remaining natural teeth.
The option of flexible dentures by Valplast and Sunflex are available as an alternative to traditional dentures. These types of dentures are particularly suited to people with irregular-shaped mouths and patients who are not suitable for traditional dentures.
There Are Also A Variety Of Materials that Can Be Used:
Acrylic dentures are made from a plastic material called acrylic resin and are a popular choice because they are lightweight and easy to adjust, they are available in a variety of colours and can also match your natural gum colour.
Metal dentures are made of metals such as titanium, cobalt-chromium, and nickel-chromium alloys. They are typically used in partial or full denture constructions and offer a strong and durable solution for missing teeth.
Flexible dentures are made of a flexible, thermoplastic material and are designed to offer a more comfortable fit and are less noticeable compared to acrylic or metal dentures.
