Dentures

A denture, also known as a complete denture, is a dental appliance that is inserted in the mouth and replaces natural teeth that have been lost or removed. They also provide support for the cheeks and lips.

What Are Dentures?

Most dentures are made of acrylic material and can be fabricated a couple different ways.

  • A conventional denture is made if all the teeth have been extracted and the gum tissues have healed.
  • An immediate denture is fabricated and inserted immediately after the teeth are extracted. The gum tissues are allowed to heal under the denture.

A patient may need both an upper and lower denture, or one or the other:

  • An upper denture is acrylic, usually flesh colored and it covers the roof of the mouth.
  • A lower denture is shaped like a horseshoe in order to leave room for the tongue.

The replacement teeth are made of plastic, porcelain or a combination of both. Dentures can be fabricated to fit over endodontically treated teeth or a complete denture can be attached to dental implants which allows for a more secure fit of the appliance.

Over a normal period of time, dentures will wear and need to be replaced or relined in order to keep the jaw in a normal alignment. The jaw alignment will slowly change as the bone and gum ridges recede or shrink due to the natural missing teeth. It’s important to keep up with regular dental examinations for denture wearers so that the oral tissues can be checked for any changes as well as disease.

My son had his two front top teeth knocked out at baseball practice, Kewaskum Family Dental's staff were more than accommodating & took excellent care of my child. The dentists couldn't have done a better job, they did excellent work. They even sqeezed my son into an already tight schedule, so he'd have his crowns in place just in time for senior pictures. Thank you everyone for being the amazing people i've known you to be over the years, you are the best!
