Dentures![]() What are dentures?When you have a tooth, or even all of your teeth, extracted, you will find yourself needing to invest in a reliable replacement for your natural teeth. This is very important if you would like to continue living your life without a reduction in quality caused by the inability to speak well or eat the foods that you like. When it comes to quickly replacing a mouth full of teeth, the best option for your needs might be dentures. Dentures are a tried and true method of tooth replacement that is often used when a patient has no natural teeth left in their mouth. When all of your teeth, or a significant portion, have been pulled, you might think that dentures are a good option to consider. Dentures can help you maintain the appearance of a natural smile while protecting your gums. This kind of tooth replacement is made from an acrylic base that is designed to look like natural gums that is then topped with replacement teeth fashioned out of acrylic or some other material that can mimic the look of natural teeth. The dentures are then usually placed directly over the gums and are held in place by suction. What are the benefits of dentures?Dentures are an affordable option that can be a quick way to replace an entire mouth full of teeth that have been lost. They can be comfortable when fitted correctly, and are easy to keep clean and to remove. They can also look quite natural, which is nice when you are hoping to maintain a natural smile to help maintain an appearance that you are proud of. What are the downsides of dentures?Dentures can slip and slide around in your mouth if you are not careful and if they are not properly fitted. They can also affect your ability to speak well and to chew well if they are not well adhered to your gums. With this in mind, it might be a good idea to consider a denture option that is fixed on implants, instead.
