Cosmetic Dentures Goodlettsville

If you are missing some of your teeth, then you may choose to get dentures. There are different types of dentures that you can have. Some of these types include standard, immediate, partial, and implant retained.

Standard
One of the first types of dentures is the standard, or full variety. These dentures are made for patients who have already missing most of their teeth in one or both jaws. They can’t be put in until all of your gums have healed. Standard dentures rely on suction to keep them in place and require as much surface area as possible in order to remain stable. They also have the tendency to make some patients gag. They can be cut back to reduce gagging, but will lose some of their stability in the process

Immediate
One of the next types of dentures is the immediate denture. They are also known as temporary dentures. They are placed in your mouth as soon as your real teeth have been removed. Therefore, you won’t have to go around with no teeth. You will also be able to eat sooner that you would with standard dentures. You will need a new set of dentures as soon as your gums have healed because the healing process will change the fit of temporary dentures.

Partial
There are also partial dentures for patients who have lost a few teeth. These types of dentures are held in place by gums, natural teeth, and a structure made up of metal and plastic. Partial dentures are designed to act as a spacer between healthy teeth. These types of dentures usually use metal attachments to connect onto surrounding teeth.

Implant Retained
One of the final types of dentures is the kind retained by implants. These dentures are designed to fit over dental implants and are much more expensive than the standard variety. Implant retained dentures have the advantage of providing stability without needing to cover the entire roof of your mouth. These types of dentures are great for people who can’t wear standard dentures because they make them gag. They are also great to hold lower dentures in place, and keep them from being kicked out of the mouth by the tongue.
