The Right Dentures for You in Lowell, MA
Removable, full dentures are used to replace all of most of your natural teeth while partial dentures are used to replace one or more teeth. Dental implants may also be used to secure your dentures for increased functionality. Candidates for complete dentures have lost most or all of their teeth, partial is suitable if you have some natural teeth remaining. Complete dentures can be done for your upper or lower jaw, or both.
Complete dentures are either “conventional” or “immediate”. This refers to when they are inserted into the mouth. Immediate dentures are inserted immediately after the removal of the remaining teeth. To make this possible, we take measurements and make the models of your jaw during a preliminary visit.
Many choose immediate dentures because you don’t have to be without teeth during the healing period. However, your bones and gums can shrink over the time, especially during your healing period in the first few months after the removal of teeth. Immediate dentures require rebasing or relining to fit properly and to stay comfortable. Conventional dentures are made once your bone and gums have healed, which may take a couple months.
Partial dentures can be made to be either removable or fixed. A removable partial denture consists of teeth attached to a gum-colored plastic base, which is connected by metal framework.
