Full dentures are a last resort in the worse cases of periodontal disease, where the teeth get loose and infected. To think dentures are as good as your natural teeth is foolish, just like thinking an artificial leg could ever be as good as your original version.

What exactly does dentures mean?
Dentures is a term that refers to false teeth. When you have troubles with your teeth, and have them all pulled, you have the option (wise choice) to have dentures or false teeth made to fit your mouth properly. It is difficult for others to notice the difference between dentures and your own regular teeth.

If you have full set of teeth on top can you where dentures on bottom?
Yes you can but I would stay away from porcelain teeth on that lower denture. They have a tendency to really wear away your natural teeth. Get good quality acrylic teeth for your denture and they will not devastate your opposing natural teeth quite as bad if at all.
Preparing for Dentures?
If you have been told that you need to have dentures, it can be a scary time. Many people don’t know what to expect when they get dentures put in place. There are some common things that almost everyone will experience as they have their dentures put in. Clear Away Old Broken Teeth The first thing your dentist will need to do is make sure that all of your old and broken teeth are cleared away. The fact that you need dentures implies that you have several teeth that are not effective anymore. Your dentist may schedule one or two appointments to remove the old teeth and make room for the dentures that will replace them. In some cases, you will be able to keep a few of your healthier teeth as anchors for your dentures. Talk to your dentist about which teeth are worth saving and which teeth have to go. Before the Dentures are Permanent Once your mouth has been prepared and all of the broken teeth are gone, you will still need to visit the dentist several times as he prepares your dentures. Your mouth will need to heal from the tooth removal process, so you may spend a week or two without a full set of teeth. Once you have healed, the dentist will make a cast of your gum line so that a set of dentures can be made to fit your gums comfortably. You may be fitted with temporary dentures while you wait for your permanent dentures to be crafted. Healing From the Procedure When the permanent dentures are put in place your gums will be sensitive and sore for a couple of weeks. They have to heal from the trauma of having the dentures put in. There may be some spots that hurt longer than others because they receive more pressure from the dentures. Your dentist will probably suggest that you come in for a few follow up visits during the first couple of weeks that you have the new dentures. There may be some minor adjustments that will increase your comfort level and allow you to begin eating and speaking normally faster.

Pros and Cons of Dentures?
When you meet someone for the first time, you have up to six seconds to make that important first impression. A key part of that first impression is your smile. If you have teeth missing when you smile, you may want to consider dentures. There are pros and cons to getting dentures. Immediate dentures are placed in the mouth on the same day that your teeth are pulled. Replacement dentures may be needed later on because the jaw will change its shape following teeth extraction. Conventional dentures are not fitted until the gums heal following the teeth being pulled. Dentures are affordable. You can get a quality, full set at a fraction of the cost of one implant. However, dentures are best for those who are missing all or many of their teeth. Dentures have significant benefits. Missing teeth will be replaced. Not replacing a tooth can put gums, the jawbone, and other teeth at risk. A person’a appearance will be improved. You will look younger. With tooth loss your face can appear sunken. Your cheeks will regain definition and shape with dentures. Smiling with a full complement of healthy looking teeth is a plus and a confidence booster. Modern dentures are strong. Eating and chewing food will be easier. You won’t have to replace dentures for five to ten years. Custom-made dentures can look realistic. False teeth don’t have to appear false. Those are the pro arguments for dentures. Definite cons need to be considered. It takes a while to adjust to the feel of having dentures in your mouth. This may mean that new ways of speech will have to be learned. Forming words and pronouncing them is one drawback. Clicking, smacking, and whistling may be bothersome for a while. Dentures can cause mouth sores and irritation. Sometimes this is caused by foods bits getting underneath the dentures. Grinding or clenching teeth besides the action of chewing can lead to this irritation. Dentures that don’t fit correctly can instigate yeast infections in your mouth too. Other cons are certain foods will be difficult to chew. On a temporary basis food will taste strange. Weigh your options with care.
