Dentures in Prescott
Are there Different Types of Dentures?
There are many different types of dentures that may be available depending on your specific case.
- Complete Dentures: This type of denture is used when all teeth are missing or extracted. They go over the entire upper and lower jaw to restore all the teeth in the mouth.
- Partial Dentures: This type of denture is used when there are still some natural teeth. The partial dentures are meant to fill in the missing gaps in the mouth and prevent other teeth from shifting or moving.
- Overdentures: This type of denture is used to fit over some of the natural teeth that are left or dental implants. This is meant to support and fortify the denture.
- Immediate Dentures: This type of denture is placed right after tooth extractions. They are great for patients who do not want to be without teeth during the healing period. However, this may require adjustments as the gums heal.
- Conventional Dentures: These dentures are used when all the teeth are removed and the tissues are healed.
- Snap-in Dentures: These types of dentures are secured by implants and are known for being the most stable type of denture. They are meant to snap onto the implants for easy cleaning and removal.
