Full Mouth Dentures

As the name suggests full dentures replace all of your teeth. They use the remaining gum and tissues in the mouth to hold in place. At times this is not enough to keep the denture stable and implants are required to clip it in place. A denture is made up of two components : the base plate and the prosthetic teeth. The base plates for them are usually acrylic (pink Plastic) and the teeth can either be porcelain or acrylic. There are literally thousands of different options of tooth colours and shapes that the dental technician has to choose from.

Daily cleaning is recommended. Plaque and tarter can build up on false teeth just as they do on natural teeth. Specialised cleaners can be purchased from the supermarket or over the counter at a pharmacy. They should be removed from the mouth overnight to let the oral tissues breath.
