Cosmetic Dentures – Feeling Apprehensive? No Need…
Missing teeth can be 'replaced' with Cosmetic Dentures. However, it is necessary for the gums and tissue which once held the tooth (or teeth) in place to be healed before Cosmetic Full or Partial Dentures can be worn. This can make some patients apprehensive with regards to going ahead and opting for Cosmetic Dentures. And yet, they need not!
Immediate Dentures – The Advantages
When several damaged teeth are removed acrylic ‘Immediate’ Full or Partial Dentures can be worn throughout the healing process; which can be months in some instances. Immediate Dentures provide a certain amount of functionality and so comfort for the patient – They also allow patients to keep their smile (and so confidence) intact. In addition, Immediate Dentures can help to reduce irritation and bleeding for some patients.
The Drawbacks
Not all patients are able to wear Immediate Cosmetic Dentures due to certain oral health problems and medical conditions. Over time the shape of the bite can change which means adjustments can and do need to be made, which means a trip back to the Cosmetic Dentist for most people – This is true with regards to both ‘Immediate’ as well as ‘Permanent’ Full and Partial Dentures.
What To Expect
Permanent Cosmetic Dentures can last around five to ten years: Which means they are not exactly ‘permanent’ in the most literal sense of the word – Although they last significantly longer than Immediate Dentures, which only last a matter of months and not years. Dentures can become loose and this can cause irritation and discomfort. To avoid-solve the problem some patients will opt to have a Fixed Bridge and/or Dental Implants.
What Are The Options?
There are options and alternatives available with regards to replacing missing teeth in order to restore a smile. Fixed Bridges can only be attached to healthy retainer teeth: Hence, some people do need Dental Implants in order to have a Fixed bridge. However, Dental Implants should only be placed into healthy bone: Hence, for some patients Cosmetic Dentures will be their best solution.
