Dentures Made Easier For Patients Near Foxrock

People of all ages can suffer with missing teeth due to injury, accident or because of tooth decay and gum disease. If this does happen then you may require dentures for simple day-to-day tasks such as eating, drinking and speaking. They can also improve the aesthetics of the mouth and face.

When we think of dentures there is the old stereotype of them being sat in a glass of water on a bedside table or in the bathroom ready to scare you during the night. However, these are the dentures of the past and just like everything else dentures have also changed over time.

At Dublin18 Dental Care there are a whole range of different dentures to meet your needs.

The range of dentures includes;

Firstly, there are implant-retained dentures which work in combination with a dental implant. The implant is a false tooth root which is placed into the missing tooth socket and the denture is placed onto the top of the false root acting as a tooth substitute.

Full acrylic dentures are designed for those who require a new, full set of teeth and are designed to be comfortable whilst being worn. They have been devised for greater stability so that they won’t come loose like the dentures of the past.

Partial acrylic dentures are exactly the same as full acrylic dentures but are designed to replace a single or several teeth rather than a full set.

To look at our full range of dentures and to find out which are best suited to you, make an appointment at Dublin18 Dental Care near Foxrock.

 

 

The Different Dentures Available for Patients Near Foxrock

It is vital to replace missing teeth, both due to their importance for eating and speech, and cosmetic reasons – more serious tooth loss can affect your whole face shape. One of the most common methods of replacing lost teeth is through the use of dentures. The many different types of dentures now available mean that the stereotype of the teeth in the glass of water by the bed is no longer necessary; the different types of dentures offered by Dublin18 Dental Care near to Foxrock, mean that there will be a type suited to each patient’s specific needs.

Acrylic dentures

The most common type of dentures are made from acrylic resin, chosen because of its strength, cosmetic appearance and its comfort. There is no chance of the dentures not fitting or becoming loose in your mouth, as they are designed to the exact specifications necessary for each patient. Partial or full dentures are available, partial dentures being used for patients who have lost a single tooth or a few teeth, while full dentures are used when a replacement of a full set of teeth is necessary.

Chrome cobalt dentures

Chrome cobalt dentures are made from metal, and so the structure of the dentures themselves tends to be slightly stronger than those made of acrylic. Chrome cobalt dentures attach into the roof of the mouth, and allow for a slightly more comfortable feel for the tongue, as well as greater overall strength and sturdiness. Your dentist can recommend which type of dentures would be most useful for you.

Implants

An alternative to dentures is dental implants, which are inserted directly into the jawbone. These provide greater stability than other dentures, but are only suitable for patients with healthy gums and suitable bone structure. Your dentist can advise you further on your suitability for this procedure.
