They are used to replace missing teeth and help chew food. Nowadays, dentures come in different types made up of different materials such as metal, acrylic, composite of a porcelain and metal mix, and even plastic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Types of Removable Dentures:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b>Complete Denture<\/b><br \/>\nFull dentures are designed to replace all of a patient&#8217;s teeth at once.<br \/>\nUtilizing oral muscles, the removable denture is secured on the jawbone, with the denture and oral mucosa mutually adhering to each other.<br \/>\nIf there are dental implants in the jawbone, an attachment device on the implants can be used to secure the full denture.<\/li>\n<li><b>Partial Dentures<\/b><br \/>\nPartial dentures are used to replace a set of teeth, but not the entire set of upper or lower teeth.<br \/>\nBy using metal clasps extending from the base of the denture, the removable denture is secured onto natural teeth.<br \/>\nIf there are dental implants in the jawbone, an attachment device on the implants can be used to secure the full denture.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Dentures Treatment Process<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>First, the dentist takes upper and lower dental impressions of the patient, as well as the bite position of the teeth.<\/li>\n<li>The dental laboratory fabricates the base of the removable denture and uses wax to secure the artificial teeth to the denture base.<\/li>\n<li>The patient comes to the clinic for the first trial fitting of the denture. The dentist makes necessary adjustments.<\/li>\n<li>Further processing of the denture base is carried out in the dental laboratory.<\/li>\n<li>After the dental laboratory completes the removable denture, the patient returns to the clinic for another fitting session, during which the dentist makes necessary adjustments.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Q&amp;A<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"btClear btSeparator topSmallSpaced noBorder\" ><hr><\/div><div class=\"btTabs tabsVertical \" \" data-open-first=\"\"><ul class=\"tabsHeader\"><li><span>When Is The Right Time For Dentures?<\/span><\/li><li><span>What Are The Advantages Of Removable Dentures?<\/span><\/li><li><span>What Are The Disadvantages Of Removable Dentures?<\/span><\/li><li><span>What Should Be Noted After Fitting Dentures?<\/span><\/li><li><span>How To Adapt To Wearing New Dentures?<\/span><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"tabPanes accordionPanes\"><div class=\"tabPane\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tabAccordionTitle\"><span>When Is The Right Time For Dentures?<\/span><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tabAccordionContent\"><\/p>\n<p>After a tooth is extracted, the alveolar bone will begin to shrink.

The sensation will pass as you become used to wearing dentures. At first, they might not feel like they fit properly. They could make you \u201cgag\u201d or nip at your tongue or cheek. It could take some time for your tongue to become used to feeling rubbed against the denture rather than your palate if you wear an upper denture. Not to worry. These issues will eventually become better.<\/p>\n<p>Excessive saliva, a sense of oral constriction, mild irritation, or slight discomfort are normal reactions. If persistent intolerable discomfort occurs, contact a dentist promptly for professional advice.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"btClear btSeparator topSemiSpaced noBorder\" ><hr><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"rowItem col-md-4 col-ms-12 btTextLeft inherit service-menu-col\"  ><div class=\"rowItemContent\" ><div class=\"btCustomMenu service-menu\" ><div class=\"menu-service-menu-container\"><ul id=\"menu-service-menu\" class=\"menu\"><li id=\"menu-item-3426\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3426\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/oral-examination\/\">Oral Examination<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3427\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3427\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/professional-advice\/\">Professional Advice on Oral Health<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3428\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3428\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/scaling-and-polishing\/\">Scaling and Polishing<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3429\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3429\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/dental-x-rays\/\">Full Mouth and Intraoral X-ray Examination<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3430\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3430\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/fillings\/\">Dental Filling<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3431\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3431\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/extraction\/\">Non-Surgical Tooth Extraction<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3432\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3432\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/traditional-braces\/\">Traditional Metal Braces<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3433\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3433\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/invisible-braces\/\">Invisible Braces<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3531\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3531\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/home-bleaching\/\">Home Bleaching (At-Home Teeth Whitening)<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3434\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3434\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/teeth-whitening\/\">In-Office Teeth Bleaching<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3435\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3435\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/veneers\/\">Dental Veneer<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3436\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3436\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/rct\/\">Root Canal Treatment (Endodontic (Pulp) Treatment)<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3437\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3437\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/micro-root-canal-treatment\/\">Microscopic Root Canal Treatment<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3438\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3438\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/wisdom-tooth-extraction\/\">Wisdom Tooth Extraction Surgery<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3439\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3439\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/dental-implant\/\">Dental Implants<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3440\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3440\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/all-on-4\/\">All-On-4 Full Mouth Dental Implants<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3441\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3441\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/mouthguards\/\">Night Guard<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3523\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3523\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/sleep-apnea-mouth-guard\/\">Sleep Apnea Mouth Guard<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3442\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3442\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/crowns-and-bridges\/\">Crowns &#038;
