DENTURES
If you've lost all of your natural teeth, whether from periodontal disease, tooth decay or injury, complete dentures can replace your missing teeth, benefiting not only your appearance but also your health. A complete denture replaces natural teeth and provides support for cheeks and lips. There are various types of complete dentures. A conventional complete denture is made and placed in the patient's mouth after the teeth are removed and tissues have healed (which may take several months). An immediate complete denture is inserted as soon as the remaining teeth are removed, and the patient doesn't have to be without teeth during the healing period. The gum and bone tissues of the dental ridge support the denture. The framework of a denture (the base) is generally made of gum-colored acrylic plastic and dentures are made to closely resemble your natural teeth. A complete denture may also be attached with conventional dental implants or mini dental implants to provide a more secure fit.
