Dentures: Complete Dentures

The fabrication of a set of complete dentures is a challenge for any dentist, including those who are experienced. There are many axioms in the production of dentures that must be understood, of which ignorance of one axiom can lead to failure of the denture case. In the vast majority of cases, complete dentures should be comfortable soon after insertion, although almost always at least two adjustment visits will be necessary to remove sore spots. One of the most critical aspects of dentures is that the impression of the denture must be perfectly made and used with perfect technique to make a model of the patient's edentulous (toothless) gums. The dentist must use a process called border molding to ensure that the denture flanges are properly extended. An endless array of never-ending problems with denture may occur if the final impression of the denture is not made properly.

Millions of Americans complain that their dentures do not fit properly. Many spend hundreds of dollars each year for denture adhesives, only to experience gooey awful tasting messes. The Federal Trade Commission noted in its 1987 report: Sale of Complete Dentures that millions of American citizens are experiencing serious problems from ill-fitting dentures. Since then, the problem has escalated. However, Super Denture professionals are trained to consult and evaluate your current denture problem and recommend successful solutions. Authorized Super Denture Centers perform such evaluations free of charge.

The Brookswood Denture Clinic uses the SR Ivocap Processing System to complete your dentures once you have accepted the wax try-in. While under constant pressure, the bases of your new dentures are injected with a high impact non-allergenic resin. This process maintains the accuracy achieved by the Denturist assuring the greatest fit and function for your new dentures.

Having removable dentures is probably something, which each patient would love to avoid. It is probably the most uncomfortable prosthetic device used in dentistry. The complete dentures sit on the jaw ridges (places where teeth used to be), covered by the gums. The more retentive and more stable the denture is, the more comfortable it feels. There are two types of gum tissue in the mouth. “Attached gum”-is gum tissue attached to the bone through periosteal, which is not mobile, and “detached tissue” or “mobile tissue”- gum tissue that is not directly supported by the bone and moves during certain functions (such as speech, mastication etc.).

The first porcelain dentures were made around 1770 by Alexis Duchâteau. In 1791 the first British patent was granted to Nicholas Dubois De Chemant, previously assistant to Duchateau, for De Chemant's Specification, "a composition for the purpose of making of artificial teeth either single double or in rows or in complete sets and ... springs for fastening or affixing the same in a more easy and effectual manner than any hitherto discovered which said teeth may be made of any shade or colour, which they will retain for any length of time and will consequently more perfectly resemble the natural teeth." He began selling his wares in 1792 with most of his porcelain paste supplied by Wedgwood.

If you've lost all of your natural teeth, whether from periodontal disease, tooth decay or injury, complete dentures can replace your missing teeth and your smile. Replacing missing teeth will benefit your appearance and your health. Without support from the denture, facial muscles sag, making a person look older. You'll be able to eat and speak--things that people often take for granted until their natural teeth are lost.
