What Kind of Denture Is Right For You?

Losing teeth is something nobody looks forward to. Before you get discouraged about settling for the large, bulky, uncomfortable false teeth your grandparents had, it is important to realize there are now different varieties of options to choose from. Unlike the days of old where everyone got the same kind, patients can now get dentures that best fit their special, dental needs.

Types of Dentures:
Complete -Complete dentures are the conventional dentures which are applied after all of the patient's teeth are removed. Complete dentures include a full set of teeth that adhered to the gums.

There are two types of complete dentures: Conventional and immediate. Conventional are applied after the teeth are extracted and the gums heal (around 8-12 weeks). Immediate are pre-made and can be applied over the gums immediately after the teeth are extracted, during the gum healing process.

Partial - Unlike complete dentures, partial dentures don't require all the patient's teeth to be extracted. Partial dentures are dental bridges that attach replacement teeth to a base that is either pink or gum colored which is connected by wired frames.

There are two types of partial dentures: removable and permanent. In removal partial option, the bridge snaps either into the base or onto the wire framework. In permanent partial option, the base of the bridge is cemented into place on top of the gums.

 Alternatives
Today, dentures are not your only option. Instead of dreading the unnatural look or uncomfortable feel. There is another alternative available that provide a more natural look and feel.

This alternative are dental implants. Dental implants are permanent solutions for missing teeth. Implants are made of a titanium screw inserted into the gums and topped with a porcelain crown. The crowns are sized and colored to the specific size, shape and color of the patients natural teeth. The screw keeps the crown in place so a patient can avoid the awkward slipping that happens with dentures as well as the daily cleaning that they require.

Which Denture is Right For You?
The best alternative that is right for you depends on the condition of your teeth. If you have no or very little healthy, natural teeth left, complete dentures are your best option.

Partial and dental implants require the patients to have a few, strong, healthy natural teeth in order to be inserted.

Permanent partial dentures and dental implants are best for patients with few missing teeth and who don't want the hassle of caring for removable partial dentures.

Both the permanent partial dentures and dental implants are the most expensive denture options. These options may not be best for those on a tight budget.

Conventional and removal partial dentures require daily cleaning and should not be worn overnight. There are also some foods to avoid while wearing either of these denture options, including chewy, sticky, hard and crunchy foods.

Traditional dentures are no longer the option for patients with missing teeth. There are complete and partial dentures as well as dental implant denture alternatives. Some false teeth are also permanent, meaning they are easier for patients to clean and won't cause embarrassing slippage when eating food.

The right option for you largely depend on the number and health of your natural teeth. Traditional dentures are best for those missing all their teeth, while dental implants are best for patients with few missing teeth.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
