Dentures are an excellent choice for people who are missing all or a portion of their teeth. It can be difficult to speak and eat correctly when you have missing teeth. Loss of teeth can also cause drooping of the facial muscles. Dentures are meant to look like your actual teeth and are custom-crafted for you, so they can remedy these difficulties while also restoring your self-esteem. Mostly, our Encino dentists make use of biocompatible dentistry products. Dentures are arranged into two kinds: partial and whole. Complete dentures are used when all teeth are gone (or when the remaining teeth are extracted to make room for the dentures). You can choose from more than one type of complete dentures:

• Conventional dentures are fabricated after the remaining teeth have been extracted and the gums have healed. To make conventional dentures, many measurements of the jaw are taken. The denture fitting process typically takes approximately eight to twelve weeks.
• Immediate dentures are created before extracting the remaining teeth. They are utilized immediately and are then modified and positioned numerous times. This is a favorable choice for patients who prefer not to be without teeth for an extended period and allows for adjustments as needed.

Partial dentures are best when you have got one or more natural teeth. These dentures are designed to fill in spaces of the missing teeth and prevent teeth from shifting. Dental bridges are attached to a natural-looking base that resembles the color of your gums. For some individuals, our Encino dentist increases the security of dentures by initially implanting them into the jawbone. Dentures are put directly on the implant for added security and a better fit.

How do I care for dentures?

Denture maintenance is similar to dental maintenance. Brushing them daily is necessary to eliminate food particles and prevent plaque formation. You should brush them using a soft bristle toothbrush and a non-abrasive cleanser. We also recommend cleaning your entire mouth, including your tongue, hums, and the roof of your mouth. Keep your dentures in a safe area submerged in water when not in use.
