Conventional dentures

What are the different types of dentures? Why do dentists recommend dentures? What is the average cost to replace dentures? Are dental implants better than dentures?

Conventional dentures are a full removable denture. It is made and placed in your mouth after the remaining teeth are removed and tissues have healed.

Dentures , also known as “false teeth,” is a prosthesis worn by those missing real teeth. It is inserted in the mouth, replacing the natural teeth and providing support for the lips, mouth, and cheeks. The IvoBase system eliminates variation in vertical dimension commonly found in conventional techniques and provides the best fitting dentures available.

Be sure to request “IvoBase Injection” on your next prescription! If you’re looking to supply your patients with top quality denture products, Oral Arts is your lab. These dentures make for a fully functional and comfortable fit.

They are meant to be replacements for your teeth during the day.

You will also have to wait several weeks for your mouth to heal from any tooth extractions. Denturists make permanent dentures by taking moulds of your mouth to determine its shape, so the dentures fit properly. On these models we will fabricate wax forms, which will be similar to what your new dentures will be shaped like. This appointment will last approximately 45-minutes. During step two we will place the wax rims in your mouth and obtain measurements for the fit of your top denture to your bottom denture (or natural teeth).

Healing may take several months, during which time you are without teeth. These kind of dentures can take a few weeks or more to make. Immediate Full Denture An immediate full denture is inserted immediately after the remaining teeth are removed. Immediate dentures cost more than conventional dentures because more time goes into preparing them.

There are several advantages that may make them worth the cost. The main advantage of immediate dentures is that you don’t have to go out in public without teeth following tooth removal. Unlike conventional dentures , immediate dentures are made in advance and can be positioned as soon as the teeth are removed.

As a result, the wearer does not have to be without teeth during the healing period. However, bones and gums shrink over time, especially during the healing period following tooth removal. Full Dentures ( conventional and implant-supported) Sometimes dental conditions, such as tooth decay or gum disease, can become unmanageable.

This may lead to the decision to remove your remaining teeth on one or both arches.

By contrast, the molds for conventional dentures are made once the gum tissues have healed following any tooth extractions, which takes about six to eight weeks. During this time, the gum tissues will shrink and so the fit of temporary dentures will change. A conventional denture is what is used when a patient has had all of their teeth removed.

The advantage of this method is that gum tissue and the jawbone have time to heal before denture construction begins and that the construction is easier for the dentist at this point. We use the highest quality acrylic to achieve an extremely life-like gingival.
