Dentures

What are Dentures?

Dentures (also known as false teeth) are appliances that are used as a replacement of missing teeth. They are artificial teeth which enable normal functioning of the human mouth. Dentures are of two types – Complete & Partial. Complete dentures are advised when all the teeth are missing, and partial dentures are applied when some teeth are missing. They are custom made especially for a set of teeth and gum line. They are conventional dentures and are removed during the night for cleaning. Partial Dentures consist of replacing missing teeth attached to artificial gum connected by a metal framework which helps to hold the denture in place. Missing teeth can change the position of other teeth hence partial denture helps to overcome this problem and keep the teeth intact.

Types of Dentures

Dentures can be divided into 3 broad categories namely Complete Dentures, Partial Dentures and Implant Supported Dentures.

1. Complete Dentures

Complete Dentures are removable prosthetic appliances that are used when the jaws have no teeth left. These can be conventional or immediate.

2. Partial Dentures

Partial Dentures are used when some of the natural teeth are still remaining. These partial dentures fill the gaps that are created by missing teeth. They are usually made up of Acrylic resin, Porcelain material or a combination of metal and acrylic.

3. Implant-Supported Dentures

An implant-supported denture is a dental prosthesis designed to replace multiple teeth simultaneously. Unlike a conventional denture that sits on the gums, this type of denture connects to the jawbone by inserting dental implants for support.

What is the Procedure Involved in Placing Dentures?

Step 1: Initial Consultation

The first step in getting a denture would be the initial consultation with the dentist. The dentist will perform an oral examination to find out what kind of denture would be required according to your needs. The dentist will help you decide the type of denture that would be required- Complete or Partial Denture. Extraction or any other procedure before getting dentures, if needed, will also be determined during the initial consultation. All your questions related to your treatment, its cost, and outcome will be answered by your dentist.

Step 2: Taking of Impressions
  • The dentist will take the impression of the jaw where teeth are missing.
  • A plaster model will be made by pouring the impression with gypsum.
  • A special acrylic tray will be made on your jaw model.
  • To ensure proper fit, this special tray will be placed in your mouth followed by border molding so that your denture stays in place and doesn’t fall off unwantedly.
  • Further, a final impression will be taken using the same special tray.
  • Again the impression will be poured with gypsum and acrylic plates will be made followed by wax up rim.
  • Now these wax rims with acrylic plates will be placed in your mouth to set the alignment of your future teeth.(This step is known as jaw relation) So, that you can chew properly.
  • Teeth will be arranged on the arranged position of wax.
  • Once again, the acrylic plates will be placed in the mouth to check proper teeth alignment. If any corrections needed, will be done then and there only. If everything is found correct, the final denture will be made.
Step 3: Delivery of your Denture

The final denture will be placed in your mouth. Instructions will be given to you regarding how to place and remove your denture.
