Having Dripping Springs Dentures Fitted

By Jayne Rutledge


False teeth or dentures are teeth that are especially made for you as replacements for natural teeth that you have lost. You will require a full set of Dripping Springs dentures in the event that you do not have any of your natural teeth left. In cases where you have only lost one or more teeth, you will be offered a partial denture.

Full and partial dental plates are designed to support your facial muscles and your lips. It stops sagging of the face muscles and prevents your lips from receding. It will improve your overall facial appearance and allow you to chew properly whilst eating.

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.

To have a full plate fitted impressions and measurements of your mouth will be taken. Your dentist will normally do this and order your dental plate from a qualified dental technician. A trial dental plate will be prepared by the technician, based on the impression and measurements provided by the dentist. Your Dripping Springs dentures professional will fit the plate and make sure that it is a perfect fit. This is sometimes done with the aid of the technician who will make any necessary adjustments.

Partial plates are designed to replace one or more missing teeth. These sets of teeth are available with a plastic or a metal plate. The teeth are attached to the plate. This type of plate often comes with clips that fit onto some of the available natural teeth. The clips hold it securely in place and it can be unclipped for removal.

When you first obtain false teeth, it may feel a bit strange. Depending on how long you have been without teeth, it may be uncomfortable initially. At this point your dentist or dental technician may suggest that you wear it even whilst sleeping. Although it may not be necessary to remove the plate before you sleep, doing so will allow your gums to rest whilst you are asleep. If you remove your false teeth overnight, you should place it in water or in a cleaning solution specially made for dentures. This will stop the material from drying out and changing shape.

You should start by eating soft food which has been cut into small pieces when you first start eating with your new false teeth. You should abstain from eating sticky or hard food. You will be able to return to your normal diet once you become accustomed to your artificial teeth.

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.
