Yes, you can still have dentures even if your gums have shrunk significantly. However, extensive gum shrinkage may require additional adjustments or treatments, such as bone grafting or the use of implant-supported dentures, to ensure a proper fit and comfort. It's important to consult with a dental professional who can assess your specific situation and recommend the best options for your needs. Regular follow-ups will also be necessary to ensure the dentures continue to fit well over time.

Comfort in Affordable Dentures?
Millions of people are denture wearers and they want comfort as well as budget-friendly when they choose them. For those who are in the market for affordable dentures, there are choices for them that can help them cut costs of something that could be expensive. Just because the dentures are affordable, these will still be good dentures that fit well and stay in place while talking and eating. Just because dentures are affordable doesn't necessarily mean that they are cheap. Affordable costs less, and cheap costs way too little and may also cut corners when it comes to the usefulness of the dentures. That's why it's still important to shop around for the right dentures. It's smart to visit a practice that has been around for a lot of years. These dental practices wouldn't last long if their dentures weren't fitting their patients the proper way. If they advertise affordable dentures then it's a good idea to stop in and see what they have to offer. Even if only partial dentures are needed, it's smart to shop for affordable ones in that style. The cost of dentures is determined a lot by the basic costs of the dental practice, the materials used for the dentures, and if they can be made on the premises or sent out to a lab. The cost may also depend on whether the patient will first need an immediate denture. The immediate denture is the temporary one used immediately after a complete tooth extraction. No one would want to leave the dentist office with no teeth and that's the purpose of the immediate denture. This denture also helps to heal the gums after extraction. After they are healed, then the more permanent dentures can be used. Most dentists will offer a complete package for this type of work. If the dentures are made on the premises, the cost will be more affordable. A lab technician will work with the dentist to be sure of the proper shape, color, size and look of the teeth. Some practices can offer these dentures on the same day they are ordered. For partial dentures there are acrylic and cast metal. The acrylic are more affordable but some patients claim that they may feel bulky. These also are usually made on premises. The cast metal partials are strong, fit the best and aren't bulky. They will cost a bit more because they need to be sent to another laboratory.
