Few
people want to have their teeth extracted just to look better. But
when restoring the teeth is impossible because there is simply not
enough tooth structure left, dentures are an alternative.
It
is important from a cosmetic standpoint, however, that you need
not allow too much time to lag between tooth loss and tooth
replacement. Tooth loss causes the face to collapse and the mouth
to sink in. At the same time, the nose appears to drop down
towards the chin. Deep lines begin to from in the creases of this
collapses skin, adding years to the face.
Full
dentures can make you look younger because there is almost no
limit to what the dentist can create with them.
Immediate
Dentures
Immediate
dentures are measured for size with the natural teeth intact, and
they are placed the same day as your remaining teeth are
extracted. With this type of denture, you skip the try in stages
that accompany the fitting of other models. Because gums and bone
tend to shrink after extractions, these dentures may become
loose.
Conventional
Dentures
Fitting
conventional dentures typically requires three to six office
visits after all of the teeth have been removed and the tissue has
healed. It is up to you during these visit to pass judgment on the
fit and look of the dentures. Your dentist will advise you on
color, tooth type and lip position. If the color is too white, the
dentures will look artificial.
