Types of dentures aspen dental
Dentures include complete, partial, immediate, overdenture, and implant-supported designs, chosen according to the teeth and tissues remaining.
Which denture designs can replace missing teeth?
Dentures include complete, partial, immediate, overdenture, and implant-supported designs, chosen according to the teeth and tissues remaining.
How do complete, partial, immediate and overdentures differ?
Complete dentures replace all teeth in an arch; partial dentures replace selected teeth; immediate dentures are inserted around extractions; overdentures gain support from roots or implants.
How is the suitable denture design assessed?
A dentist examines the bite, gums, bone, remaining teeth, and cleaning ability before impressions or scans and laboratory fabrication.
When does a denture need adjustment or review?
A sore, cracked, slipping, or unwearable denture needs adjustment and an assessment of the supporting ridge.
What should you ask about denture retention and repairs?
Ask how the denture will be retained, whether roots or implants can help, and how relines and repairs will be handled.
Frequently asked questions
Can I manage this at home?
Home care may reduce irritation, but it cannot identify or remove an infection, calculus, defective restoration, or poor appliance fit.
What will the dentist examine?
The examination may include the tissues, teeth, bite, restorations, appliances, and dental imaging when findings suggest a problem below the gum or inside a tooth.
