If you have lost all of your teeth, or even a few, whether it is from periodontal disease, tooth decay or injury, dentures can replace your missing teeth and restore your smile. By replacing your missing teeth, your health and appearance will benefit greatly. Today, dentures are designed to be more comfortable and functional than they were in the past. They are similar in appearance to natural teeth, allowing your smile to improve as well as your facial appearance. Consult your Bellevue cosmetic dentist today to decide which kind of denture is best for you and your teeth. What are Flexible Partials Dentures? A flexible partial denture provide excellent aesthetics and comfort for patients who prefer to wear a removable denture rather than a fixed restoration such as a dental bridge or implants. By using a flexible base, the restoration can adapt to the constant movement and flexibility in your mouth. Most flexible partials can be virtually invisible because there are no telltale metal clasps to cover your natural teeth and the materials used blend with the tissue in your mouth so that the only thing that shoes is your beautiful smile. In addition, most flexible materials blend with the tissue in your mouth so that the only thing that shows is your beautiful smile. Why a Partial Denture? Flexible partial dentures bring the beauty back to your smile by replacing your missing teeth and that is a big deal! But the other benefits that flexible dentures bring are important, too. A partial denture is used when one or more natural teeth remain in the upper or lower jaw. Flexible partial dentures are virtually invisible because there are no telltale metal clasps. In fact, the denture materials blend right in with the natural color of the tissue in your mouth so no one has to know you're wearing it. Flexible partial dentures also: * Make it easier to chew and speak
* Maintain the shape of your face
* Ease the stress of your bite
* Prevent teeth from shifting
* Decrease the risk of gum disease and resulting gum disease treatment Caring for Your Flexible Partial Dentures Like your natural teeth, flexible partial dentures require care and good oral hygiene. To keep your restoration looking and feeling like new, it is important to follow simple denture care directions. Clean your dentures regularly. Most brands of flexible partials will have a specific cleaner that is recommended for regular soaking of your new denture. Loose particles can be removed with the use of the denture cleaner, or by gently placing your appliance under running water. Consult your dentist in Bellevue today if you are missing some or all of your teeth. Dentures are not for everyone, but with proper consultation, your dentist will find the best treatment plan for your smile. Missing teeth can be a thing of the past with proper dental hygiene and dentures.
