Dentures, also referred to as false teeth, are custom made replacements for missing teeth. Full Dripping Springs dentures are used as a replacement if you have lost all your natural teeth. If you have lost individual teeth, you can opt for partial dentures.

The two types of artificial teeth are available to support the muscles in your face and your lips. It prevents receding of your lips and sagging of your facial muscles. Your appearance will improve and you will be able to chew your food properly.

A full upper or lower denture will be used if all your teeth have to be removed or if you are in the process of replacing an old full plate. This type of plate is normally fitted when your teeth are removed. This means that you will not be without teeth at any point. The plate should fit quite snugly over your jawbone and your gums. There are times when you may have to go through a waiting period before the plate can be placed.

The process to have a complete upper or lower plate fitted involves having impressions and measurements of your mouth done. The dentist will undertake this task and order your partial or full unit from a dental technician. The technician will prepare a trial plate from the molds that were taken of your mouth. The denture will normally be fitted by your Dripping Springs dentures specialist to ensure that it is stable and fits properly. This may be done whilst the technician is present in case adjustments need to be made.

To replace one or a few missing natural teeth, your dentist will fit a partial plate. This type of denture comes with either a metal or a plastic plate. The false teeth are attached to the plate. Partial dentures often have clips attached. The clips are used to fit onto your natural teeth and hold it in place. It can easily be unclipped when you wish to remove it.

The first time you use your dentures, it may be strange. If you have been without teeth for a long period, the plate may feel uncomfortable. Your dentist may recommend that you wear the plate even when you go to sleep. It is not always necessary to remove your dentures when you go to sleep, but removing it gives your gums the chance to rest. If you opt to remove your dental plate when you go to sleep, you should put it in a special dental cleaning solution or in water. This prevents the plate material from drying out which may change its shape.

Upon initial fitting of your dental plate, you should commence eating soft food that is cut into small pieces. You should not eat any hard, sticky food and should avoid chewing gum. Once you feel comfortable with the dentures in your mouth, you will be able to return to your previous diet.

You should continue to maintain dental cleaning and health even if you require replacement teeth from your Dripping Springs dentures technician. You should ensure that you brush any remaining natural teeth, your tongue and your gums at least twice each day. This will ensure that you prevent gum disease and possible decay of your natural teeth. You should keep your dentures clean by brushing it with soap and water or toothpaste before you soak it overnight.
