Having Dripping Springs Dentures Fitted

By Jayne Rutledge


Dentures or false teeth are replacements for missing natural teeth. If you have lost or need to have all your teeth removed, you will be offered full upper or lower Dripping Springs dentures. If you are missing one or more teeth, your dentist will offer you a partial plate.

Both types of false teeth are made to support your lips and facial muscles. This stops your lips from receding and your muscles from sagging. It changes your appearance and allows you to properly chew your food.

A full upper or lower denture will be used if all your teeth have to be removed or if you are in the process of replacing an old full plate. This type of plate is normally fitted when your teeth are removed. This means that you will not be without teeth at any point. The plate should fit quite snugly over your jawbone and your gums. There are times when you may have to go through a waiting period before the plate can be placed.

The fitting process of full upper or lower false teeth requires that moulds and measurements are taken of your mouth. This will be done by your dentist, who will continue to order the plate from a professional dental technician. The technician will make your false teeth from the impressions that the dentist took of your mouth. Your Dripping Springs dentures professional will fit the plate to ensure that it is an exact fit. This procedure may be undertaken with the dental technician present to allow him or her to make any required amendments to the plate.

Partial plates are designed to replace one or more missing teeth. These sets of teeth are available with a plastic or a metal plate. The teeth are attached to the plate. This type of plate often comes with clips that fit onto some of the available natural teeth. The clips hold it securely in place and it can be unclipped for removal.

The first time you use your dentures, it may be strange. If you have been without teeth for a long period, the plate may feel uncomfortable. Your dentist may recommend that you wear the plate even when you go to sleep. It is not always necessary to remove your dentures when you go to sleep, but removing it gives your gums the chance to rest. If you opt to remove your dental plate when you go to sleep, you should put it in a special dental cleaning solution or in water. This prevents the plate material from drying out which may change its shape.

Upon initial fitting of your dental plate, you should commence eating soft food that is cut into small pieces. You should not eat any hard, sticky food and should avoid chewing gum. Once you feel comfortable with the dentures in your mouth, you will be able to return to your previous diet.

You should continue to maintain dental cleaning and health even if you require replacement teeth from your Dripping Springs dentures technician. You should ensure that you brush any remaining natural teeth, your tongue and your gums at least twice each day. This will ensure that you prevent gum disease and possible decay of your natural teeth. You should keep your dentures clean by brushing it with soap and water or toothpaste before you soak it overnight.
