Which denture is right for you?

The number of missing teeth, the condition of the remaining teeth, and the thickness of the jaw are some considerations that your dentist or prosthodontist will take into account before recommending a denture. If only one or two teeth are missing and the remaining teeth are healthy, a bridge or partial denture could be an effective solution. When few natural teeth remain and are in poor condition, dentures or implants may be the best option.

However, if your jawbone is thin, your dentist may need to graft additional bone into the area to support the implant attachment (this is the titanium post that sits in the bone).

How are dentures made?

To make a denture, your dentist will perform a thorough evaluation of your teeth and oral cavity and take dental X-rays of the teeth involved for the denture. This allows your dentist to provide you with a denture that supports your remaining teeth, allows you to eat and speak normally, and looks great. In the next step, the dentist usually takes an impression of your existing teeth by asking you to bite down on a cast. They then send the mold to the dental laboratory. According to Decisions in Dentistry, dentures can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, composite resin, acrylic, and zirconia.

What results should I expect from using removable dentures?

It will take a while for your body to adjust to the feel of removable dentures. At first, new dentures will feel uncomfortable and even uncomfortable at times. The patient will experience excessive salivation, difficulty eating or speaking, and a feeling that the teeth are so thick that the tongue does not have enough room to move within the mouth. However, all this will eventually fade as the patient becomes more and more used to the device.

What are the different types of removable dentures?

Partial dentures are removable dental prostheses used for patients who are missing some of their teeth with the restoration anchored or attached to the patient's remaining natural teeth. Complete dentures, on the other hand, are used to replace all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw of the patient's mandibular arch. A conventional complete denture is a type of removable dental prosthesis that is inserted into the mouth after the gums have fully healed from the tooth extraction.

What are removable dental prostheses?

Removable dentures are dental restorations that can be removed by the patient when they are not needed. Dentures are the most common removable dental prosthesis on the market and are by far the most common way most patients choose to replace their missing teeth. The reason behind this is that despite all the other advancements in dental technology, removable dentures are non-invasive and will not require surgical incisions or painful recovery. Removable dentures are supported by surrounding tissue in the oral cavity and can be conveniently removed by the patient when not in use and replaced when necessary.

What materials are there for total and removable dental prostheses?

These prostheses are, as their name suggests, those that we can remove and put on as many times as we want. There are many materials and we must constantly update ourselves with technological changes. The most common are acrylic. They are made up of a powder and a liquid that, when joined, form a very rigid and compact material. They are resistant to the oral environment and can last several years fulfilling an excellent function.

We have resin prostheses called high impact. They are thinner, weigh nothing and are very resistant to chewing and blows. For me they are the ideal and I will always recommend them as the first option. Finally we have the flexible partial dentures. They are used when we have remaining teeth and are an excellent option for the lower jaw. Where stability and retention is unlikely. This prosthesis is kinder to the tissues, causing less damage to them and easy adaptation.

Hygiene is very important. You should clean it at least once a day or after each meal. There are special brushes on the market and toothpaste of any brand. It will be a slow process, but you will make it. Nor is it recommended to sleep with it, so we must be careful, learning one step at a time.

What to eat with full dentures, dentures or box of teeth?

The purpose of a prosthesis is to laugh, talk, kiss and of course eat what you like the most, but it is a process and you will have to obey your doctor in everything. The first thing you should know is that eating with dentures is not like eating with your normal teeth. Chewing on only one side of the mouth can loosen them, make them rise up and become uneven. Also, foods with certain textures can break them or come out of the mouth. So be patient and give yourself a couple of weeks to get used to your new dentures.

Chew on both sides of the mouth. Food should be on the back molars. Chew slowly on both sides at the same time. This way, the denture will be more likely to stay in place and the pressure in your mouth will even out.
Avoid chewing or tearing with your front teeth. If you try to bite down on food with your front teeth, the denture will lift up. He bites down on food with his canines and uses his tongue to bring food to the back of his mouth. Always cut absolutely everything with a fork and knife.
Start with a liquid diet. For people who have never worn dentures before, it can be very difficult to eat any type of solid food. Start with fruit juices, saltine crackers, seafood soup, or ajiaco.
Switch to a soft diet. These foods are easy to chew and swallow. If necessary, cut the food before eating. Now you can integrate into your diet: soft cheese, eggs, mashed potatoes, ground meat, cooked legumes, soft fruits, rice, chicken, fish and the things you like the most.

Should I use Corega cream or adhesive powders on the denture?

At Clínica DientesySonrisa – Total Prosthesis Bogota we do not recommend these creams when the prosthesis is new. Allow your doctor to adapt the prosthesis, relieve discomfort and guarantee a good adaptation of your prosthesis. We always recommend these stickers when you are going to speak in public, when you go to the sea or swimming pool, party or special ceremony or when you have oral surgery. When you need to have security and confidence in yourself.

The adhesive protects from food that remains between the gum and the denture. The prosthesis that gives firm and gives you security. In addition, it allows a pleasant breath in the mouth. Make sure your denture is clean and dry. Squeeze the adhesive so it comes out in 3 short strips as shown on the instructions on the box. At the clinic we always have enough medical samples. Ask the doctor or his assistants for some as a gift and do not hesitate to comment on any concerns you have.
