These dentures or set could be removed everyday or whenever you want. You can wash them with denture cleaning solution or as suggested / recommended by denture manufacturer. They are flexible to use and they can be used in partial teeth replacement or full teeth (set) replacement.

They may take more time for treatment, as the dentist need to fix implants in initial days and then temporary crown, followed by dentures.

Since periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss, many patients are fitted for dentures. Patients wearing complete dentures should see the dentist once a year to examine all soft tissue areas. Partial dentures require attention to hygiene just like real teeth. They need to be removed and cleaned daily.

Wearing dentures continuously and failing to take the proper precautions can promote the growth of mouth fungus (candidal colonization) leading to thrush.

Dentures may also be ill-fitting and uncomfortable. This is because the gums of people with diabetes may be especially sensitive. This in turn makes eating, and maintaining good health and proper BG control more difficult.
