Comprehensive and Affordable Full Denture Solutions

January 24th, 2014|

The replacement of the missing teeth that can be taken out and put back into your mouth is known as the dentures.

While dentures will never feel exactly the same as your natural teeth, today’s dentures in Townsville are NATURAL LOOKING and MORE COMFORTABLE than ever.

 

Types of Dentures

There are two major types of dentures: FULL and PARTIAL. A dentist at The Townsville Dental Centre will surely help you to select the right type of denture based on whether some or all of your teeth are going to be replaced and the cost involved.

 

How do Full Dentures Work?

While taking the service of full dentures in Townsville, a kind of FLESH-COLORED ACRYLIC BASE fits over your gum areas. The palate (the roof of your mouth) is covered by the base of the upper denture, while that of the lower denture is shaped like a horseshoe in order to accommodate your tongue. A dentist at The Townsville Dental Centre determines which of the two types of dentures described below is best for you.

 

Conventional Full Dentures

A conventional full denture is a sort of replacement in which the denture is placed in the infected area of your mouth after any remaining teeth are removed and tissues have restored. The healing of this stage may take several weeks/months, during which time you might have to stay without teeth.

 

Immediate Full Dentures

An immediate full denture is placed immediately once the remaining teeth are removed from your mouth. At The Townsville Dental Centre, our dentists TAKE MEASUREMENTS and MAKE MODELS of your jaw during a prior visit. Although immediate full dentures in Townsville are known for offering the benefit of never having to be without your teeth, these denture options must be relined several months after being inserted. The primary and the most important reason is that the bone supporting the teeth reshapes as it heals, causing the denture to become loose from their place.

 

How Long do Full Dentures Last?

Over a period of time, you have to consult with one of dentists to check if there is a need to get them RELINED, REMADE, OR REBASED due to normal wear. Here you need to know that debasing means creating a new base while keeping the existing denture teeth. Moreover, your mouth naturally changes as you age with the passing time. These changes may cause your dentures to get loosen from their points, making chewing difficult and irritating your gums as well. At a minimum, you can visit OUR CLINIC annually for a checkup.
