If you’re natural teeth have reached the point that restoration is no longer possible, the dentist will no doubt recommend dentures in Dearborn. Situations that can result in the complete removal of all your teeth are:
* Severe decay
* Periodontal disease in an advanced state
* Failed root canal
Teeth broken beyond repair
Two types of dentures in Dearborn:
Depending upon how many natural teeth can be retained, the dentist has two choices of dentures. If there are no teeth remaining in the upper or lower mouth, then a full denture will be used. A full denture can be an over-denture, and immediate denture or a conventional denture.
If there are teeth left in the mouth arch, then a partial denture will be used. A partial denture has metal clasps which anchor to the remaining natural teeth for stability and support.
Managing with dentures:
When a person first wears dentures, there is a need to adjust his or her lifestyle in the first couple of months. Until you get comfortable with the denture, it is best to eat soft food which can easily be chewed.
The overall construction of a denture will probably affect the way you speak. This is a short term issue and your speech will return to normal quickly. To help with the restoration a great therapy is to read the newspaper aloud.
Over time, the jawbone and gums will shrink and recede. After about six months you may have to return to the dentist and have the relined. This is a simple procedure where the dentist applies additional acrylic to the arch of the denture and then presses it into the mouth contours for a perfect fit.
When you first start wearing the dentures there may be a necessity to make adjustments. If you feel any discomfort this will usually be caused by a pressure point. The dentist will smooth any high spots or rough spots on the dentures in Dearborn. These adjustments are common and you should expect a few additional dental appointments in the first few months of wearing your dental appliance.
Care for the denture:
Although dentures are not subject to decay, plaque is still an issue. Because of the plaque build-up, dentures need cleaning every day.
