A Denture is a removable prosthesis used to replace missing teeth. It is usually made of acrylic or combination of acrylic and metal. A partial denture is fitted to replace some missing teeth, while a complete denture is indicated when all natural teeth are missing. A good set of denture done by a good prosthodontist will help patient to eat, speak, function and often makes the patient look younger and better.
At Dr. Prabhu Dental Clinic, any type of denture will take 3-4 visits not more than 5 days. New denture always feels strange when placed in the mouth. It usually takes 3-4 weeks to get used to but adaptation varies according to people.
After denture is delivered to the patient, 1 or 2 check-up appointment is required to see if there is any discomforts or sore, minor adjustment will be done to make sure that patient is comfortable with the new set of denture.
Patient with denture should start eating with soft foods and food cut into small pieces. In some patient with severe bone loss and denture does not have a good grip, denture adhesive can be used to make the denture more stable.
Some patients might have gagging reflex and vomits with denture even after shorter the length of denture, then implant will be a better option.
New denture many alter your speech initially. Pronouncing certain words many require practice. This problem rarely persists beyond 2 weeks.
How to take care of your denture?
Denture should be removed and cleaned after every meal with a soft brush.
Hold the denture firmly while cleaning. Accidental drop-page may result in chipped or broken dentures.
Soak the denture in denture cleanser once a week to remove stains and always rinse them before using them again.
Always remove the denture before going to bed. This will allow the patient's gum to rest and promote good oral health.
Dentures are the cheapest option for tooth replacement in dentistry. If patient is comfortable with the new set of denture, one can save a lot of money by not doing an Implant.

Flexible partial blends in well with the natural appearance of your gums, making the partial virtually invisible. The plastic has almost chameleon effect.
