Partial Denture is the removable prosthesis which replace the missing teeth in the mouth .

A removable partial denture usually consists of teeth attached to a pink or gum-colored plastic base, which is connected by metal framework that holds the denture in the mouth. Partial dentures are used when one or more natural teeth remain in the upper or lower jaw. Not only does a partial denture fill in the spaces created by missing teeth, it prevents other teeth from changing position. A precision partial denture is removable and has internal attachments rather than clasps that attach to the adjacent tooth. Due to these internal attachments they have a more natural-looking appearance and grip.

This type of dentures are made after the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has begun to heal, a conventional denture is ready for placement in the mouth about 8 to 12 weeks after the teeth have been removed.

Unlike conventional dentures, immediate dentures are made in advance and can be positioned as soon as the teeth are removed. As a result, the patient does not have to be without teeth during the healing period. However in case of immediate dentures, bones and gums shrink over time, especially during the healing period following tooth removal. Therefore a disadvantage of immediate dentures compared with conventional dentures is that they require more adjustments to fit properly during the healing process and generally should only be considered a temporary solution until conventional dentures can be made.

Having mentioned the types of dentures available nowadays there are a few possible challenges associated with using Dentures which are as mention below:

Most of us if asked to think of dentures, will probably envision a set of false teeth in a glass of water. This image is so common because denture wearers need to put their dentures in a glass every night before they go to sleep. Furthermore, many denture wearers would agree that there is nothing more frustrating than losing their dentures.

If you wear dentures, then you probably can’t recall what a lot of your favorite food even taste like. In fact, denture wearers experience a reduction in bite-force (ability to bite) of up to 10 times and a decrease in chewing efficiency of nearly 30%. This reduced ability to chew means that denture wearers are swallowing larger pieces of food. This can lead to digestive complications, such as indigestion, choking hazards, and constipation.

Denture if not in the proper position or does not stay in proper position – in case denture moves and it causes cheek and tongue to struggle to form words and control the denture. In such cases — Reline, rebase or replacement by a dental professional is recommended.

There are foods that denture wearers can also eat however the joy derived by eating them is greatly reduced in the cases where upper dentures cover your palate. Along with our tongue, our palate contains taste buds, too. So, an upper denture covering your palate will greatly reduce your ability to taste. As a result, many denture wearers tend to over-salt in their food in an attempt to taste what they are eating. More salt puts people at an increased risk of higher blood-pressure, which can lead to serious health consequences.

Some people think that wearing dentures is a real pain – both figuratively, and literally. Sore spots are a common complaint amongst people who wear false teeth. When wearing tissue-supported dentures, your prosthetic will often move around and rub on your gums. This movement of a loose denture can cause blistering of the area called sore spots. These sore spots can be very painful, and make it even more difficult to eat.

For many denture wearers, balancing false teeth with their tongue becomes almost an art form itself. No doubt, loose dentures can lead to very embarrassing situations. Often, denture wearers simply withdraw from social activities, such as going out with family and friends. Some denture wearers are so concerned that someone might discover they wear dentures, they simply prefer to stay home – alone. This behavior can lead to isolation, loneliness, and even depression.

Bone and mouth tissue shrinks, original fitting of denture is lost. Dry Mouth (Xerostomia); caused most often by certain medications; without proper saliva, denture fitting is not ideal due to the “seal” that moisture provides between denture base and tissue. Such a situation needs to be discussed with your dental professional.

Sore spots: Usually, your mouth will have a few “sore spots” after wearing the complete denture/ partial denture for 24 hours. These areas can be relieved with very little effort during your next appointment.

Chewing: The new bite may not feel completely comfortable for several weeks. We can adjust the contacting surfaces of your teeth after the dentures/ partials have settled into place.

Cleaning the denture and your Mouth: Your denture can be cleaned easily by using a denture brush and a mild toothpaste. Periodic denture soaks are also very useful (ex :polident). We recommend cleaning your denture out of your mouth at night and soaking in water. Brush your gums with a regular toothbrush once per day to toughen and clean them. Use special care to clean parts of the partial denture that touch any natural teeth. Both the partial denture and the natural teeth must be kept very clean on a daily basis to reduce the chance of new dental decay starting.

We have done our best to provide you well-fitted, functional, and esthetic dentures. We feel confident that after a few weeks of becoming comfortable with the new denture, you will have years of satisfaction from them. Over time, your jawbone and gums shrink your denture will feel loose and may require relining.

Wearing ill-fitting dentures/partials for too long without refitting can cause severe bone loss and very serious oral disease, please call us if these symptoms occur.
