Dentures

The replacement of missing teeth is an important part of maintaining a healthy smile. When teeth are missing, the remaining teeth can change position and drift into the empty surrounding space. Complete or full dentures replace all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw and may be either "conventional" or "immediate." A denture helps in the proper chewing of food, a difficult task when teeth are missing. A denture may also improve speech and prevent sagging of the face by providing support for lips and cheeks.

A conventional denture is placed in the mouth ten to twelve weeks after removal of all the teeth; this time span allows proper healing. A conventional denture may also be made to replace an existing denture.

An immediate denture is placed as soon as the teeth are removed. The main disadvantage to an immediate denture is that more adjustments of the appliance may be required after the mouth has healed and relining will probably be necessary.
