1. Traditional complete full dentures
Complete dentures replace all of a patient’s teeth. They sit on top of the gums, as opposed to dental bridges that are anchored to existing teeth. Complete dentures are typically placed within 8-12 weeks after the teeth have been removed/extracted.
2. Partial dentures
Partial dentures are used when a patient still has some of his or her natural teeth, such as when one or more teeth remain in the upper and lower jaw. There is a pink-colored base that is attached to a metal piece. These two pieces hold the denture in the mouth.
They are convenient and removable, which means you can take them out whenever you need to. Partials help to prevent the other teeth from moving, and are made from all-acrylic or acrylic material.
3. Custom dentures
Custom dentures are made of more expensive teeth, which results in a more natural-looking smile. You can actually see the new denture before it is completed. The denture is customized for your smile so it is natural looking and suits your needs.
4. Immediate dentures
Immediate dentures are typically placed on the same day that the teeth are removed/extracted. You have to be a good candidate for this type of denture, though.
5. Implant supported dentures
With implant supported dentures, a dental implant is used to securely support the denture. The denture provides a great amount of support for a solid foundation, which allows the denture to stay securely in place. The dental implant also looks natural and will last longer too.
6. Overdentures
An overdenture sits on top of the gums and is held in place with dental implants. It can be placed on the upper and/or the lower jaw, depending on the patient’s needs. The overdenture is also removable.
7. Upper dentures
Upper dentures are just that—-dentures for the upper teeth. If you are missing teeth in the upper jaw, upper dentures may be the best solution for you.
