Temporary Dentures

Temporary denture materials are used to restore your mouth for a short time until your natural teeth and tissue have healed enough to support a permanent denture. Temporary denture materials must be biocompatible with the tissue in your mouth. Most often, this means using a combination of restorative dental restoration materials plastic and acrylics.

Partial Dentures vs. Permanent Dentures

  • Keep in mind that partial dentures do not last as long as complete dentures. This is because they lack the supporting bone and tissue of a natural tooth.
  • As a result, they tend to loosen over time and need to be replaced. However, replacing a partial denture is much less invasive than replacing a complete denture.
  • Once your dentist determines that you need a full or partial denture, they will take an impression of your jawbone and gums so that a custom-made denture can be made.

Permanent Dentures

Permanent denture materials are those that remain in your mouth permanently and replace your missing tooth and supporting structures.

Benefits of Dentures

Replacing lost or missing teeth is very good for your health and appearance. A complete or full denture replaces your natural teeth and gives support to your cheeks and lips. Without this support, sagging facial muscles can make a person look older and they will find it harder to eat and speak properly. Please schedule an appointment to go over the different options your dentist may recommend. That way, you can start enjoying a new you sooner than you think!
