Removable dentures in Alanya, Turkey
Removable dentures (false teeth) are replacement teeth that you can take out of your mouth. They are the most common type of denture. People often choose them after losing teeth with age, or because of tooth decay or other problems in the mouth.
Dentures rest on your gums, and an upper denture also rests on the roof of your mouth, so you do not need surgery. You can take them out when you are not using them, and they can be replaced if needed.
What are removable dentures?
Today there are many ways to treat problems with the teeth and mouth, and to improve how teeth look. There are more options for missing teeth too. Even so, for many years, people who want a gentle option have chosen removable dentures.
Removable dentures are held in place by your gums and the soft tissue around them. You can take them out when you do not need them. This is one of their advantages.
What types of removable dentures are there?
Partial dentures: These are for people who are missing a few teeth but still have some natural teeth. The replacement teeth are fixed to a gum-coloured plastic base on a metal framework. The framework holds the denture in place, so the teeth should not move or slip when you speak or eat.
A partial denture does more than replace missing teeth. It also helps to stop nearby teeth from moving and to keep your jaw in shape.
Full dentures: These replace all the upper or lower teeth. After all the teeth have been taken out, the gums need time to heal.
During this time, the dentist takes impressions of your mouth and gives you full dentures to wear. As your gums heal, gaps can form between the dentures and the roof of your mouth. Your dentist can fix this with small adjustments to the dentures.
What are the advantages of removable dentures?
Here are the main advantages of removable dentures:
- No surgery is needed, so treatment is usually more comfortable than other options. Dentures suit people who want an easier recovery.
- Dentures can help if you are nervous about treatment but have problems because of missing teeth. They can help with speaking, chewing and changes to the shape of your face after tooth loss.
- Dentures give you more freedom, because you can take them out whenever you like. If new problems come up later, they can be adjusted or replaced with a new set.
Do removable dentures have any disadvantages?
Removable dentures have some disadvantages too. New dentures can feel uncomfortable or strange at first, because your mouth is not used to them. In the early days, your mouth may make more saliva than usual, which can make eating and speaking harder. The denture may also feel thick, as if your tongue does not have enough room.
Most of these problems happen because the dentures are new to you. They usually go away as you get used to wearing them. If a denture rubs or feels loose, your dentist can adjust it.
