Question 1

can upper pallet on a full denture be cut off?

Accepted Answer

It can: But the denture will not fit right, and it will have no suction to hold it in place. You will need to constantly use denture adhesive. Many patients function this way. An alternative is to place dental implants which will hold the denture in place.

Question 2

i would like to know if i can get denture made on my medical plan?

Accepted Answer

Ask Benefits Person: The person in charge of insurance Benefits at the insurance company or at the employer will know the answer to questions about what is covered and what is not covered. You have posted on HealthTap's free, public, informational forum for health questions. People post questions from all over the world. We volunteer doctors do not know what insurance coverage each of our users has.

Question 3

what can u used to stop soar on your gum that cause by denture?

Accepted Answer

See your dentist: You can place anbesol on the sore area under the denture while you wear it. I would recommend seeing your dentist and asking for a prescription of magic mouthwash. It can be made at the pharmacy and contains a (1:1:1) ratio of viscous lidocaine, benadryl, (diphenhydramine) and maalox liquids. Also this is an indication that the denture may need an adjustment. See your dentist as soon as you can.

Question 4

how much is an implantable denture?

Accepted Answer

Service: An "implantable denture" is not a commodity, like a can of soup.  It's a service.  Cost depends on your individual anatomical requirements, skill and training of the practitioner, number/placement/type of implants, region of the country, materials used in the prosthetic appliance, and so many other factors.  Ask your Dentist for advice or referral to specialist(s).

Question 5

how can  the denture procedure work?

Accepted Answer

Easy: There is the quick and dirty why that may take as little as two appointments and there is the time tested 5-7 appointments that is required to give you optimal results.  The world leaders in denture construction still take 5-7 appointments shortcuts can lead to terrible results.  Complete denture construction is still an art not a science.

Question 6

what are some over denture attachments?

Accepted Answer

There are many : Here are the names of some overdenture attachments:
locator
era
bredent
zest anchors
eds
dal-ro
hader bar with clips
dolder bar with clips
shiner magnets
there are more available.

Question 7

does having a intermediate denture hurt?

Accepted Answer

Immediate?: There are two denture names that sound like 'intermediate'--immediate denture, which is placed immediately after removing teeth (thus the name); and interim denture, which is designed to be just a short-term. Since you are worried about hurting, I am guessing it is an immediate denture. Since it is placed right over the swelling extraction wound it is important to get it adjusted often if painful.

Question 8

what is the best palateless denture to use?

Accepted Answer

Other way around: Treatment depends on diagnosis. Dentists can talk to you generally about pros &amp; cons of available products, but can't recommend one over the others without first determining your personal intra-oral requirements. So don't pick a product and insist that it's way you want. Have examination/x-rays first to determine what would work best for you.

Question 9

what are the differences in denture design and materials?

Accepted Answer

Custom made: Every individual's mouth is different, and each denture must be custom made with modern dental materials and techniques.

Question 10

advantage and disadvantage  of acrylic as a denture base material?

Accepted Answer

Very broad question.: As compared to what?  Some individuals, although very uncommon, have acrylic allergies. Metal bases are stronger and thinner, but less easily adjusted if they cause any irritations or sores.  Nylon bases are more flexible and cannot be added to or adjusted easily.  Implant supported teeth are the best option.  Discuss treatment options with your own dentist who knows you and your case best!
