Types of Dentures
Dentures are removable dental appliances that replace lost teeth in the upper arch, lower arch. There are different types of dentures, and the best choice for you depends on your oral health needs.
1. Full Dentures
Full dentures, also called complete dentures, are substitutes for a whole arch of missing teeth. A full denture is supported by either the jawbone ridge (lower teeth arch) or the roof of your mouth (upper teeth arch).
When you think of traditional dentures, you probably think of full dentures. These are made up of a gum-colored base and artificial teeth. Full dentures are removable, which allows your gums to rest and makes them easier to clean.
2. Partial Dentures
Partial dentures look similar to full dentures, except they only replace several missing teeth on the upper and lower jaws. They also rest on your palate or lower jawbone ridge for stability and support. However, partial dentures have special clasps that hook around your healthy teeth to ensure they stay in place.
3. Temporary Dentures
Temporary dentures are usually used short term to fill the gap that results from a tooth or multiple teeth extractions. You will wear them until the permanent denture is ready or the missing tooth or teeth is ready to be restored by other treatment options.
4. Implant-retained Dentures
Implant-retained dentures are supported by dental implants and the ridge of your jaw and gums. Dental implants are titanium screws that replace the roots of missing teeth by being surgically placed into your jawbone.
Implant-retained dentures are removable, just like traditional dentures. At night, you take them out to clean and soak. However, they can provide better stability than a full or partial denture because they snap on and off the dental implants.
Implant-supported dentures are also called permanent or hybrid dentures. Like implant-retained dentures, they are attached to dental implants connected to your jawbone. But unlike all other types of dentures, implant-supported dentures are non-removable and have excellent stability.
