Types Of Dripping Springs Dentures

By Jayne Rutledge


Dentures, also referred to as false teeth, are custom made replacements for missing teeth. Full Dripping Springs dentures are used as a replacement if you have lost all your natural teeth. If you have lost individual teeth, you can opt for partial dentures.

Full and partial dental plates are designed to support your facial muscles and your lips. It stops sagging of the face muscles and prevents your lips from receding. It will improve your overall facial appearance and allow you to chew properly whilst eating.

In the case that you may have to remove all your natural teeth or you need to replace an old plate, you will be offered a full lower or upper dental plate. This type of plate is generally fitted immediately after your natural teeth have been removed. This ensures that you will not be without teeth for an extended period of time. The dental plate fitting should be snug over your gums and jawbone. In certain circumstances, you may not be able to have the plate fitted immediately.

The fitting process of full upper or lower false teeth requires that moulds and measurements are taken of your mouth. This will be done by your dentist, who will continue to order the plate from a professional dental technician. The technician will make your false teeth from the impressions that the dentist took of your mouth. Your Dripping Springs dentures professional will fit the plate to ensure that it is an exact fit. This procedure may be undertaken with the dental technician present to allow him or her to make any required amendments to the plate.

To replace one or a few missing natural teeth, your dentist will fit a partial plate. This type of denture comes with either a metal or a plastic plate. The false teeth are attached to the plate. Partial dentures often have clips attached. The clips are used to fit onto your natural teeth and hold it in place. It can easily be unclipped when you wish to remove it.

When you first obtain false teeth, it may feel a bit strange. Depending on how long you have been without teeth, it may be uncomfortable initially. At this point your dentist or dental technician may suggest that you wear it even whilst sleeping. Although it may not be necessary to remove the plate before you sleep, doing so will allow your gums to rest whilst you are asleep. If you remove your false teeth overnight, you should place it in water or in a cleaning solution specially made for dentures. This will stop the material from drying out and changing 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 imperative that you continue good dental health habits even if you have obtained false teeth from your Dripping Springs dentures professional. To do this, you should brush your remaining natural teeth, your gums and tongue at least two times per day. This will prevent decay of your teeth and gum disease. Your false teeth can be cleaned by using water and soap or toothpaste to brush it before you soak it in water overnight.
