What is a dentures?

Answer 1

A modular denture is a pre-made denture (like a modular house that needs to be put together) it usually comes in sizes like small, medium, and large. It needs to be adapted and fitted to an individual patient by a dentist using a relining material. These dentures are usually used only for emergencies as the quality, fit, and bite are compromised, compared to a custom made denture. They are rarely used and have limited availability and usage.

Answer 2

Full dentures are when all of the teeth are removed either from the upper or lower of the mouth. A full SET is when all of the teeth are removed from the mouth and a denture plate is made for both. Same as if only the upper or lower teeth were completely removed. Partials are dentures that are made for missing teeth (say the front) and are secured with a crown. All of the above need to be removed nightly and cleaned to keep them white and odor free. Some full dentures are formed to attach to the gum line solely while others are made to secure to the full upper mouth. The lower dentures only adhere to the lower gums. When the teeth are removed, they need time to heal (a few weeks to a month) before the new dentures can be placed. An impression is made of your mouth/gum line for the proper fitting.

Answer 3

Partial dentures fill in the spaces where there are missing teeth and prevent other teeth from changing position. Partial dentures rest on a metal framework that is attached to your natural remaining teeth. Crowns can sometimes be placed on some of you natural teeth and serve as anchors for the denture. Partial dentures offer a removable alternative to bridges.

A new denture will not last forever as the mouth and face change shape and the denture will either have to be replaced or realigned.
