What Are Dentures & What Are Their Benefits?

Dentures are a dental prosthesis designed to replace missing teeth and made using impressions of your mouth. There are different types of dentures available – your dentist will help you find the right one for you.

• Conventional Full Denture – After any remaining teeth are pulled and your gums have healed, this denture will be placed into your mouth to replace all of your teeth. 
• Immediate Full Denture – If you don't want to be without teeth after yours are pulled, an immediate full denture can be fabricated before the removal. You'll be able to wear this denture right away, but it will require multiple relinings as your mouth heals. 
• Partial Denture – A partial denture is comprised of replacement teeth that are attached to a gum-coloured base. A framework allows the denture to attach to your existing teeth to remain in place.

There are many benefits to wearing dentures. Aside from improving your appearance, dentures will:

• Prevent your facial muscles from sagging
• Allow you to eat and speak normally
• Help you smile with more confidence

To find out more about dentures and how they can help you, please schedule a consultation with your dentist.

What Are Dental Implants & Who Can Get Them?

Dental implants are metal posts that are surgically implanted into your jawbone and topped with replacement teeth. Morrison Centre Dental Group provides dental implants in Fort McMurray for patients with one or more missing teeth. In order to be a candidate for dentures, you must:

• Have healthy gums
• Have enough bone density in your jaw to support the implant
• Not suffer from an autoimmune disorder
• Be committed to excellent oral hygiene
• Be in good overall health

The ability to heal quickly is very important for your recovery. Between the implant procedure and the healing time required, the entire process could take up to a full year. Caring for your dental implants is also critical. They should be cleaned like natural teeth, and you should regularly visit your dentist for a checkup and cleaning. If you care for them properly, dental implants can last a lifetime!

Like dentures, dental implants will improve your appearance and self-esteem. But since dental implants are permanent fixtures fused to your jawbone, there is no slippage that could affect your eating and speaking. You also won't have to remove them for cleaning or repairs or use any sort of adhesive.
