Why do people wear dentures? What are the types of dentures? What are complete oral dentures? Dentures are removable false teeth made of acrylic (plastic), nylon or metal. They fit snugly over the gums to replace missing teeth and eliminate potential problems caused by gaps. Complete oral dentures are used in case of edentulism or when all teeth are extracted. Simply, a complete false teeth prosthesis is used in such cases. This may happen certain reasons. With complete oral dentures, jaws are treated with dental implants and dental bridges on implants.
Why Wear Dentures?
Dentures not only improve the appearance of a smile that has multiple missing teeth, but they also keep the structure of the mouth sound by supporting the structures around the cheeks and lips. Dentures also make it possible:
- To eat foods that require chewing,
- To keep your diet the same,
- And ensure that you are properly nourished.
Lastly, dentures are a viable solution to replace teeth that are causing serious pain and oral health issues, such as those with rotted roots or severe damage. Having dentures fitted means that troublesome teeth are eliminated and replaced with a strong and beautiful alternative.
When Are Complete Oral Dentures (False Teeth) Recommended?
People may suffer from tooth loss due to various reasons. Complete oral dentures treatment is recommended in case of complete edentulism. In edentulism, teeth losses are high or all natural teeth are missing. Additionally, this treatment is applied for case of missing or bad teeth in large quantities. In other words, it is applied if natural teeth are seriously damaged in excessive quantities.
How to Apply Complete Oral Dentures?
In complete mouth dental implants, first, the jawbone’s suitability for treatment is assessed. Then, 6-8 dental implants are placed into the jawbone. After, fixed denture is applied onto them. This treatment may take 2-3 sessions. The average duration of the procedure is 10 days. Local anaesthesia is used in the treatment. For this reason, no pain is felt during the application. Not very solid food can be eaten and liquids can be consumed 2 hours after the treatment. Post-treatment sensitivity and full recovery period is approximately 7 days. In case of pain after treatment, the doctor should be consulted. It is also recommended to check every 6 months after treatment.
Advantages
Advantages of complete oral dentures are as follows:
- Since dental implants are placed in the jawbone, they preserve the integrity of the bone, bone height and volume. Thus, the risk of bone loss is reduced.
- Thanks to the dental implants, food is eaten more easily because chewing efficiency is better.
- It has a positive effect on the patient’s social life and therefore on self-confidence.
- A complete mouth dental application is a permanent restoration and can be used for many years or even a lifetime if it is properly maintained with good oral hygiene.
- As mentioned, complete mouth dental implants prevent bone loss and maintain bone height and volume. Prolonged absence of all teeth leads to increased bone loss, the lower area of the face appears wrinkled and sunken giving an older appearance. Whole mouth dentures on dental implants provide the necessary fullness in the cheek and lip area, giving a better appearance.
- Speech is greatly affected in edentulous patients. With complete mouth dental treatment, the patient’s speech quality can be improved in a much better way compared to other applications.
- The application provides comfort and convenience to patients. It eliminates the need for daily removal and maintenance of dentures.
