What Are Complete Dentures?
Complete dentures are removable appliances designed to replace all the natural teeth in either the upper or lower jaw, or both. They consist of a gum-colored acrylic base and artificial teeth that mimic the appearance of natural teeth. The base fits snugly over the gums, providing a stable platform for the artificial teeth.
Steps in Complete Dentures fabrication:
- Initial Consultation: Your dentist will examine your oral health and discuss your needs and preferences.
- Impressions and Measurements: Precise impressions of your gums and measurements are taken to create a custom-fitted denture.
- Denture Creation: A dental lab uses these impressions to craft your dentures. This process may involve several fittings and adjustments to ensure a perfect fit.
- Fitting and Adjustment: Once the dentures are ready, they are fitted and adjusted as necessary. Your dentist will ensure that they are comfortable and functional.
- Follow-Up Visits: Regular follow-up appointments may be needed to make further adjustments and ensure optimal fit and function.
Caring for Complete Dentures
- Daily Cleaning: Clean your dentures daily using a soft-bristled brush and denture cleaner to remove food particles and plaque. Avoid using regular toothpaste, as it can be abrasive.
- Soaking: Soak your dentures in a denture-cleansing solution overnight to keep them moist and free from bacteria.
- Oral Hygiene: Brush your gums, tongue, and the roof of your mouth with a soft brush to maintain oral health and stimulate blood flow.
- Handling: Handle your dentures carefully to avoid damage. When cleaning them, place a towel or basin in the sink to cushion any accidental drops.
- Regular Check-Ups: Visit your dentist regularly to check the fit of your dentures and make any necessary adjustments.
Common Issues and Solutions
- Discomfort or Soreness: New dentures may cause discomfort initially. If soreness persists, consult your dentist for adjustments.
- Loose Fit: Over time, dentures may become loose due to changes in your gums and bone structure. Relining or rebasing may be needed to restore a secure fit.
