Dentures In Noosa

When you need a prosthesis that will replace all your teeth simultaneously, a full denture is the best solution. Traditional ones are removable and set directly on top of your gums, using suction to keep them in place. Lower dentures are a bit more unique, in that they rely on your lips, cheeks and tongue to keep them in the desired location. Additionally, it’s possible to use dental implants (as few as four) to stabilise your dental appliance throughout the day. In some cases, fixed hybrid dentures eliminate the need for a removable denture.

A partial denture is a removable appliance that you can wear even if you have several remaining teeth. Instead of extracting them for a full dental appliance, you can retain your natural teeth and get a prosthesis that clips in around them. Partials are made with a metal (cobalt chrome) or acrylic base, depending on how many teeth are missing. At specific points on the base, there will be small extensions that clasp or wrap around your remaining teeth, using them for stabilisation of the appliance.
