Dentures and Partial Dentures

Custom-made removable dental devices called dentures and partial dentures. The purpose is to replace missing teeth and restore the function and your aesthetic smile. Complete dentures are intended to replace all teeth in a dental arch, while partial dentures are utilized when remaining natural teeth are present.

Types of Dentures

Full Dentures are complete sets of prosthetic teeth that substitute all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw.
Partial Dentures replace several teeth but not an entire arch. They are typically made of acrylic resin and metal and held in place by clasps that attach to natural teeth.

Benefits of Dentures

Improved appearance: Dentures can significantly enhance your smile and facial aesthetics.
Improved communication: Losing teeth can affect your speech, but dentures can help you speak more clearly and effectively by restoring proper speech patterns.
Dentures enable improved biting and chewing comfort by enhancing chewing ability.
Boosted confidence: Replacing missing teeth can boost your self-esteem and confidence.

The Denture Process

Getting dentures typically involves several steps:

The dentist will make a denture specifically for you by taking your mouth impressions.
Fitting: You will be fitted with a temporary denture to check for comfort and fit.
Adjustments: Your dentist will make necessary adjustments to ensure a proper fit.
You will be guided on maintaining your finished denture upon receipt.

Caring for Your Dentures

Make sure to clean your dentures daily by using a denture cleanser.
Clean your dentures with a denture cleaning solution by soaking them overnight.
Please handle with care: Avoid dropping your dentures, as they can break.
Schedule regular dental check-ups to visit your dentist for adjustments and routine examinations.

While dentures are a good substitute for lost teeth, they do not last as long as natural teeth. You must take proper care of your gums and existing teeth and see your dentist regularly to maintain their health.
