Types of Dentures Available
At Peoria Dentistry, we understand the importance of replacing missing teeth for both functional and aesthetic reasons. We offer two main types of dentures:
Complete Dentures : Ideal for patients who have lost all of their teeth. These are available in two forms:
Conventional Complete Dentures : Prepared after the teeth removal and gum healing, and are ready for use within 8 to 12 weeks.
Immediate Dentures : Made in advance and can be placed immediately after teeth removal, providing a functional and aesthetic solution while your gums heal.
Partial Dentures : Suitable for those who still retain some of their natural teeth. These dentures are attached to a gum-colored base connected to a metal framework that holds the denture in place.
Alternatives to Dentures
For those seeking a more permanent solution, dental implants offer a robust alternative to dentures. Implants provide support for cemented bridges, eliminating the movement and maintenance associated with traditional dentures. Consult with our Peoria dentists to determine if dental implants are a suitable option for you.
Caring for Your Dentures
Proper maintenance is crucial to extend the lifespan of your dentures. Here are some tips to keep your dentures in top condition:
Soak your dentures in plain water or a suitable cleanser when not wearing them.
Brush your dentures daily to prevent staining and remove food particles.
Schedule regular check-ups to have your dentures examined and professionally cleaned.
