Types Of Dripping Springs Dentures

By Jayne Rutledge


False teeth or dentures are teeth that are especially made for you as replacements for natural teeth that you have lost. You will require a full set of Dripping Springs dentures in the event that you do not have any of your natural teeth left. In cases where you have only lost one or more teeth, you will be offered a partial denture.

The two types of artificial teeth are available to support the muscles in your face and your lips. It prevents receding of your lips and sagging of your facial muscles. Your appearance will improve and you will be able to chew your food properly.

A full upper or lower denture will be used if all your teeth have to be removed or if you are in the process of replacing an old full plate. This type of plate is normally fitted when your teeth are removed. This means that you will not be without teeth at any point. The plate should fit quite snugly over your jawbone and your gums. There are times when you may have to go through a waiting period before the plate can be placed.

To have a full plate fitted impressions and measurements of your mouth will be taken. Your dentist will normally do this and order your dental plate from a qualified dental technician. A trial dental plate will be prepared by the technician, based on the impression and measurements provided by the dentist. Your Dripping Springs dentures professional will fit the plate and make sure that it is a perfect fit. This is sometimes done with the aid of the technician who will make any necessary adjustments.

Partial plates are designed to replace one or more missing teeth. These sets of teeth are available with a plastic or a metal plate. The teeth are attached to the plate. This type of plate often comes with clips that fit onto some of the available natural teeth. The clips hold it securely in place and it can be unclipped for removal.

It may feel strange when you first have dentures fitted. It may be an uncomfortable experience, but this is dependent on the length of time you have been without your natural teeth. Your dentist or technician may recommend that you wear your dental plate overnight when it is first fitted. It is not always necessary to remove the plate when you retire at night, but doing so may give your gums a change to rest. It is advisable to place your water in a special cleaning solution or water if you remove it before going to sleep. This will keep the material moist and prevent it from changing its shape.

You should start by eating soft food cut into little pieces after you have had the plate fitted. You should avoid chewing gum, or any hard or sticky food. Once you have become accustomed to the dental plate, you will be able to return to your old diet.

It is important that you maintain suitable dental health even if you have Dripping Springs dentures. You should continue to brush your remaining natural teeth, gums and your tongue once in the morning and once at night. This will prevent decay of your remaining natural teeth and gum disease. Your dentures should be kept clean by using toothpaste or water and soap prior to soaking your false teeth in water overnight.
