Removable Dentures Treatment Process

What are removable dentures?

Removable dentures, better known as false teeth, are prosthetic teeth made from acrylic, which fit over the gums and/or remaining teeth to give the appearance that the patient still has a full set of teeth. Dentures also help patients missing most of their teeth to chew food and speak normally. However, they may not bite as effectively as the patient's own natural teeth.

Removable Acrylic Dentures Process

Full or partial dentures consist of a gum-colored base made of acrylic, which fits over the remaining bone ridge that formerly held the teeth. The prosthetic teeth projecting from the base are designed to look and function just like your natural teeth.

Initial consultation and X-Ray or CT scan. The dentist will assess the overall condition of your mouth and jaw and take a CT scan. If you decide that All-on-4 is right for you, the dentist will take impressions of your mouth. These will then be sent to the lab for the creation of customised prostheses - the jaw and tooth sections or bridges that will be attached to the implants.
Anaesthesia and extraction (if needed). When you attend the surgery to have your implants fitted, the dentist will give you an anaesthetic so that the entire process is painless. If teeth need to be extracted, this can normally be done at the same time. Your mouth is then thoroughly cleaned to remove bacteria and damaged tissue.
Making the mould. Once the teeth have been prepared, the dentist will then make a mould in order to construct the veneers that specially fit your teeth. The mould will then be sent to the laboratory. The lab will use the mould to produce exact replicas of the damaged teeth.
Placing the dentures. The denture is placed into the jawbone and the gums are stitched closed over the implant.

Aftercare

Removable Dentures Care

Maintaining your new dentures is just as important as it was to clean your natural teeth. They can easily be cleaned with a regular toothbrush and toothpaste (special denture cleaner is available too). By ensuring you regularly clean them, you will help protect them from any build up of plaque.
Please take care when you are cleaning them though, as they are not very durable and can break if dropped from a height.
In most cases you will not be wearing your dentures while you sleep. This is because it is recommendable that your gums are not covered at all times. But it is very important that you leave your dentures in a glass of water so they don't dry out.

Removable Acrylic Denture FAQ

What are the materials used in acrylic dentures?

Modern prostheses are made from technologically advanced materials. The base is acrylic, designed in the same color as your gums.

Can you eat with removable acrylic dentures?

Once you are fully adjusted to wearing dentures, you should be able to eat almost anything. However, there may be some foods that will always be difficult to eat such as foods that are hard, sticky or contain small hard particles.

How do I clean my acrylic dentures?

Dentures need gentle, daily care just like your teeth do. Acrylic dentures are porous and prone to absorbing stains over time. Scrub them with a soft toothbrush using soap and water. Toothpaste can be abrasive on some materials, wearing down the gloss coating and making them prone to staining. You can use store bought denture cleaners after you have scrubbed them clean. Don't try to whiten your dentures with bleach. It could wear out the colour.

How long will my acrylic dentures last?

Dentures made of acrylic resin need replacement every five to eight years. As you age, your dentures may need to be realignedwith the changing shape of your mouth. Rebasing dentures involves remaking the base of the denture, keeping the existing denture teeth intact.
