Information On Dentures & Partial Dentures
A denture is a removable dental appliance and replacement for missing teeth and the surrounding tissue. Made to closely resemble your natural teeth, dentures can help enhance your smile. While made with very durable materials, dentures may have to be re-made, repaired or readjusted due to normal wear. 
Types Of Dentures
There are two types of dentures — complete and partial dentures. Complete dentures are needed when all teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when real teeth remain.
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures can be classified as immediate or conventional. A conventional denture type is made after the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has healed, which usually takes about 4-6 weeks. Immediate dentures are made in advance and immediately placed after teeth are removed to prevent you from having to be without teeth during the healing process.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures fill in the space created by missing teeth and can prevent existing healthy teeth from shifting.
Reasons For Dentures
Patients have many reasons for seeking new dentures at our dentist office. These include:
• Loss of all or some teeth
• Enhancing smile and facial tissues
• Improving chewing, speech and digestion processes
The Process Of Getting New Dentures At Our Dentist Office
Getting new dentures from our dentist office in Scotch Plains, NJ, requires several appointments, typically spread over a period of several weeks. Highly accurate impressions and measurements are taken and used to create custom dentures that fit your mouth comfortably.
Keep in mind that several "try-in" appointments may be necessary to ensure your dentures have proper shape, color and fit. At the final fitting appointment, your dentist will precisely adjust and place your completed denture, providing you with a natural, comfortable fit.
Side Effects
Things like increased saliva flow, some soreness and possible speech and chewing difficulty are normal side effects after getting your new dentures. These will subside as your body's muscles and tissues become acclimated to the new dentures.
