If you\u2019ve lost all of your natural teeth, whether from gum disease, tooth decay or injury, replacing missing teeth will benefit your appearance and your health. That\u2019s because dentures make it easier to eat and speak better than you could without teeth\u2014things that people often take for granted.<\/p>\n<p>When you lose all of your teeth, facial muscles can sag, making you look older. Dentures can help fill out the appearance of your face and profile. They can be made to closely resemble your natural teeth so that your appearance does not change much. Dentures may even improve the look of your smile.<\/p>\n<h4>Types of dentures:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Conventional. This full removable denture is made and placed in your mouth after the remaining teeth are removed and tissues have healed, which may take several months.<\/li>\n<li>Immediate. This removable denture is inserted on the same day that the remaining teeth are removed. Your dentist will take measurements and make models of your jaw during a preliminary visit. You don\u2019t have to be without teeth during the healing period, but may need to have the denture relined or remade after your jaw has healed.<\/li>\n<li>Overdenture. Sometimes some of your teeth can be saved to preserve your jawbone and provide stability and support for the denture. An overdenture fits over a small number of remaining natural teeth after they have been prepared by your dentist. Implants can serve the same function, too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>New dentures may feel awkward for a few weeks until you become accustomed to them. The dentures may feel loose while the muscles of your cheek and tongue learn to keep them in place. It is not unusual to experience minor irritation or soreness. You may find that saliva flow temporarily increases. As your mouth becomes accustomed to the dentures, these problems should go away. Follow-up appointments with the dentist are generally needed after a denture is inserted so the fit can be checked and adjusted. If any problem persists, particularly irritation or soreness, be sure to consult your dentist.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you wear full dentures, you still have to practice good dental hygiene. Brush your gums, tongue and roof of your mouth every morning with a soft-bristled brush before you insert your dentures to stimulate circulation in your tissues and help remove plaque.<\/p>\n<h4>Like your teeth, your dentures should be brushed daily to remove food particles and plaque. Brushing also can help keep the teeth from staining.<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Rinse your dentures before brushing to remove any loose food or debris.<\/li>\n<li>Use a soft bristle toothbrush and a non-abrasive cleanser to gently brush all the surfaces of the dentures so they don&#8217;t get scratched.<\/li>\n<li>When brushing, clean your mouth thoroughly\u2014including your gums, cheeks, roof of your mouth and tongue to remove any plaque. This can help reduce the risk of oral irritation and bad breath.<\/li>\n<li>When you\u2019re not wearing your dentures, put them in a safe place covered in water to keep them from warping.<\/li>\n<li>Occasionally, denture wearers may use adhesives. Adhesives come in many forms: creams, powders, pads\/wafers, strips or liquids. If you use one of these products, read the instructions, and use them exactly as directed. Your dentist can recommend appropriate cleansers and adhesives; look for products with the ADA Seal of Acceptance. Products with the ADA Seal have been evaluated for safety and effectiveness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you have any questions about your dentures, or if they stop fitting well or become damaged, contact your dentist. Be sure to schedule regular dental checkups, too. The dentist will examine your mouth to see if your dentures continue to fit properly.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_half-6126cab7d8fab8d08143dd2dacdf673c\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_half-6126cab7d8fab8d08143dd2dacdf673c{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_half-6126cab7d8fab8d08143dd2dacdf673c av_one_half  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><\/div><\/p>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_half-0aa7055fe62c3622faec82866afbaeb2\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_half-0aa7055fe62c3622faec82866afbaeb2{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_half-0aa7055fe62c3622faec82866afbaeb2 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_full  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_full-6126cab7d8fab8d08143dd2dacdf673c\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_full-6126cab7d8fab8d08143dd2dacdf673c{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_full-6126cab7d8fab8d08143dd2dacdf673c av_one_full  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-0366cc7376be6c9e82a3e9cc8987b64f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3431\" src=\"http:\/\/yanktonriverfrontdental.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ADA_seal.jpg\" alt=\"Print\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yanktonriverfrontdental.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ADA_seal.jpg 120w, https:\/\/yanktonriverfrontdental.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ADA_seal-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/yanktonriverfrontdental.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ADA_seal-36x36.jpg 36w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/>Patient education content \u00a92017 American Dental Association.
