If you are missing some or all of your teeth, you may be interested in obtaining dentures. Capable of being removed when needed, a full set of dentures will fit over your gums and can give you a renewed sense of confidence. If you are considering a full set of dentures, it is crucial that you consult with one of our experienced complete dentures dentists located in Basking Ridge and Morristown, NJ. We will be more than happy to assist you with this process.
What does a complete set of dentures do?
You will receive a top and bottom set of false teeth in an acrylic base that matches the color of your gums when you decide to get a full set of dentures. You will quickly begin to see the benefits of your dentures, even though they may require a little getting used to.
In order to make a decision that is best for you, your dentist may discuss with you the two types of full dentures available. The following are the two types of complete dentures:
- Conventional full dentures: You can use this type of denture once any gum or mouth tissue from the remaining tooth removal has fully healed. It is vital that you understand that you will be without teeth for some time until the healing process, which requires several months, has taken place.
- Immediate full dentures: You can use immediate full dentures as soon as any of your remaining teeth have been removed. The dentures will be ready without any lapse because your dentist will fit you for dentures and take models of your jaw prior to your tooth removal. Because you will never be without your teeth, this option is generally preferable. That being said, the bones that support the dentures can move during the healing process, possibly forcing you to have to reline your dentures in a few months.
What are the benefits of a complete set of dentures?
For many people, there are several reasons to choose complete dentures. While it may take time to get used to them, you will find that you chose wisely in the long run. Dentures have the following benefits:
- They improve your smile
- They support your facial muscles and prevent you from looking older
- It is more comfortable to eat and speak
