Crafted from acrylic plastic, porcelain, and metal materials, dentures closely resemble natural gums and teeth. Though they may require an adjustment period, modern dentures offer improved aesthetics and comfort compared to earlier versions.
Used when all teeth are missing, complete dentures restore function and aesthetics to the entire mouth.
Designed for cases where some natural teeth remain, partial dentures prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of alignment.
Inserted immediately after natural teeth removal, immediate dentures protect tissues and reduce bleeding. However, they require refitting as the jaw bone heals.
Placed after teeth removal and tissue healing (usually 8 to 12 weeks later), conventional dentures offer a more stable fit over time.
Dr. Panchumarti recommends treating dentures with the same care as natural teeth. Practice daily hygiene, including brushing and rinsing, to maintain oral health. If your dentures feel uncomfortable or loose, don't hesitate to visit Sunshine Creative Smiles for adjustments.
