This process can take between 8 to 10 weeks.<\/p>    <p>Complete dentures can be secured in place using a dental adhesive, and offer a <strong>comfortable way to improve your smile and to support eating<\/strong> in the way that you are used to.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Upper dentures<\/h3>    <p>The upper denture is held in place in the upper jaw using a maxillary plate, which is usually made of metal, and shaped to fit the roof of your mouth.

These dentures consist of a plastic bridge and have metal clasps that hold them in place, enabling them to be fitted comfortably around your existing teeth. Both upper and lower sets of partial dentures are available, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/dentures-false-teeth\/single-tooth-dentures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">single tooth dentures<\/a>. <\/p>    <p>A partial denture set is coloured to match your natural teeth. Traditional removable partial dentures are made from more rigid materials such as <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/dentures-false-teeth\/chrome-dentures\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"22766\" target=\"_blank\">chrome<\/a>.

This type of denture can be made before any of a patient&#8217;s teeth are removed, and so is available to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/dentures-false-teeth\/dentures-after-teeth-extractions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">worn during the healing process<\/a>. Wearing immediate dentures allows full use of your mouth until your permanent dentures are complete.<\/p>    <p>As the gum tissue heals, there is a change in shape, so immediate dentures often need adjusting over time. That&#8217;s why this type of denture is usually used as a temporary measure, until a complete set of conventional dentures are made.<\/p>    <h2 id=\"fixed-dentures-using-dental-implants\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fixed dentures (using dental implants)<\/h2>    <p>Dental implants are an alternative to traditional dentures, and can used to replace a single tooth, multiple missing teeth or even as support for a set of permanent dentures.<\/p>    <p>Dental implants work by using a screw to fix an artificial tooth to the jaw bone. This <strong>secures the false tooth, <\/strong>holding the denture in place, and so providing a more natural look. Implants can last much longer than traditional dentures, so you won&#8217;t have to worry about replacing them.<\/p>    <p>A dental implant may be used to permanently fix dentures in place, providing more stability than removable dentures. Many dental patients choose this option as they have concerns about their dentures slipping out of place.<\/p>   <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"245\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/06\/bridged-implant-300x245.jpg\" alt=\"implant-supported bridge\" class=\"wp-image-3709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/06\/bridged-implant-300x245.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/06\/bridged-implant-150x123.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/06\/bridged-implant-768x628.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/06\/bridged-implant-65x53.jpg 65w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/06\/bridged-implant-220x180.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/06\/bridged-implant-122x100.jpg 122w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/06\/bridged-implant-358x293.jpg 358w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/06\/bridged-implant-489x400.jpg 489w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/06\/bridged-implant-550x450.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/06\/bridged-implant-623x510.jpg 623w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2014\/06\/bridged-implant.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A bridged implant replaces three or four teeth<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>   <p>As fixed dentures are held securely in place, they are <strong>easier to clean than traditional dentures<\/strong> and may be brushed like ordinary teeth. In addition, some patients find them more comfortable to wear, as they don&#8217;t rub against the gum.<\/p>    <p>It is possible to use dental implants to provide a full set of artificial teeth, though this will cost more than other, traditional types of full dentures. Fixed dentures are available in two types; they may be either implant-supported or implant-retained.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implant-supported dentures<\/h3>    <p>Implant-supported dentures work by attaching a complete set of dentures to dental implants, using either a metal bar or individual ball attachments. Between four and six implants are used, which support the complete denture.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implant-retained dentures<\/h3>    <p>This type of denture also called &#8216;snap-on dentures&#8217;, works by attaching a removable set of dentures to only one or two dental implants. This provides the benefit of easy removal and cleaning. It&#8217;s also a cheaper option than dentures that need more implants.<\/p>    <h2 id=\"cleaning\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cleaning<\/h2>    <p>Whichever type of denture you choose, it is important for your oral health to<strong> keep them clean<\/strong>.<\/p>    <p>Removable dentures need to be cleaned thoroughly every day, as instructed by your dentist. This usually involves placing them in a glass of water or cleaning solution overnight. However, it is not recommended that you leave your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/dentures-false-teeth\/dentures-in-steradent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dentures in Steradent overnight<\/a>, so make sure to read product manufacturer guidelines first. <\/p>    <p>Fixed implant dentures can be brushed and cleaned just like natural teeth.<\/p>    <h2 id=\"conclusion\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>    <p>There are many different types of dentures available to choose from. The best choice for you depends on your own specific needs and previous dentistry.<\/p>    <p>Do you require full dentures? Or just an upper or lower set? Would you prefer a metal framework or more flexible dentures?<\/p>    <p>Consider the look, feel and cost of the various types of dentures available, and which is the most suited to your own oral health. It is your mouth after all. Always remember, if any problems arise with your dentures, we recommend you seek the advice of a dentist.<\/p> <div class=\"socials_share\"><ul class=\"share-buttons\">     <li class=\"share_item
