Oakland Gardens dentures is also an area of expertise for Dr. Shaffren. A denture is actually a removable bridge that is used to replace missing teeth, help maintain the shape of your face, and keep your bite from shifting due to missing teeth. The denture, whether partial or full, is removed from the mouth several times a day for cleaning. Removal of dentures also helps to rest the gums, and keep them from getting irritated.
Oakland Gardens dentures are either partial or complete. Complete dentures are called for when all of the teeth, either on top or on bottom or in both places, are missing. Partial dentures are needed when some natural teeth remain, and can be used to hold the partials in place. Complete dentures cannot be made until 12 weeks after the teeth have been removed, due to the fact that gums are swollen and need to regain their normal shape. However, the patient can get immediate dentures to wear during this waiting period. Immediate dentures are fine for a short while, but they should never be considered as a long-term solution. Partial dentures are usually made of replacement teeth that attach to a pink or gum-colored plastic base. A partial denture not only replaces a tooth, but it can keep other permanent teeth from shifting. There is also a fixed bridge which is permanently cemented into the mouth. There are many options patients have when they are faced with the problem of restoring missing teeth. Luckily, Dr. Shaffren is expert in helping patients solve this important problem.
