Many people hear dentures and assume that they\u2019re only for older patients. The truth is dentures are a great restorative option for anyone missing teeth, whether it\u2019s just a few or even a full arch. Flenniken Family Dentistry has a dentist in Carlisle that offers these dental prosthetics to restore your healthy, beautiful smile.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What are dentures?<\/h2>\n<p>Dentures are artificial teeth and gums that are custom formed to your mouth. Our dentists will \u00a0personalize them \u00a0to replace lost or removed natural teeth. The dentures in Carlisle that are offered at Flenniken Family Dentistry can either be full or partial, meaning they can either replace all teeth on either the top or bottom arches, or just a few that are missing in different places in your mouth. Regardless of what kind of dentures you may need, they will be custom designed to fit your mouth, and visually matched to your existing teeth.<\/p>\n<h3>Partial Dentures<\/h3>\n<p>When you think of partial dentures, imagine a puzzle piece that fits just for those missing teeth.\u00a0 If you have more than one missing tooth and they\u2019re in different places of your mouth, your dentist will create a denture that replaces those teeth specifically.<\/p>\n<h3>Full or Complete Dentures<\/h3>\n<p>Complete dentures are usually what people picture when discussing this dental prosthetic. These dentures are able to replace full arch of teeth or even both if you need them to.<\/p>\n<h2>What are they\u00a0made out of?<\/h2>\n<p>Traditional dentures were made out of porcelain or plastic, but more modern dentures are generally made out of a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.knowyourteeth.com\/infobites\/abc\/article\/?abc=f&amp;iid=286&amp;aid=1241\" target=\"_blank\">hard dental resin<\/a>. These new and improved dental materials are used to make denture teeth are known to be more fragile than natural teeth and can easily chip or crack if dropped or cared for poorly.<\/p>\n<h2>Are you a good candidate for dentures?<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re trying to figure out which denture is right for you, you should consider how many teeth you\u2019re missing. Consider these things:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Full dentures are recommended for people who are missing all of their teeth.<\/li>\n<li>Partial dentures are the ideal choice if you are missing only some of your natural teeth.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dentaleconomics.com\/articles\/print\/volume-105\/issue-1\/science-tech\/conservative-affordable-implant-supported-overdentures.html\">Implant-retained dentures<\/a> are a type of appliance stabilized by dental implants fused to the jaw bone. We can retain your dentures if their full or partial.<\/li>\n<li>Immediate dentures should be used for patients with extracted teeth who desire dentures placed the same day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Contact Flenniken Family Dentistry<\/h2>\n<p>At Flenniken Family Dentistry in Carlisle, our family practice works to understand the inner workings of your entire mouth, get to know your level of tooth loss, and ultimately determine the best replacement for you.
