When Are Dentures Necessary?
Dentures are a versatile solution for patients dealing with the challenges of missing teeth. Whether you’ve lost several teeth or all of them, dentures can restore both the functionality and aesthetics of your smile. You may need dentures if you experience any of the following:
- Loss of multiple or all teeth due to decay, injury, or gum disease
- Difficulty chewing or speaking due to missing teeth
- Shifting or misalignment of remaining teeth caused by gaps
- Desire to restore a complete, natural-looking smile
Types of Dentures We Offer
Full Dentures
Full dentures, also known as complete dentures, are used when all of the natural teeth in either the upper or lower jaw are missing or need replacing. They consist of a full set of artificial teeth set into a gum-colored acrylic base, designed to fit snugly over your gums. Full dentures can replace all teeth in the upper arch, lower arch, or both.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are a great option for patients who still have some of their natural teeth. These dentures fill in the gaps left by missing teeth and help prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of position. A partial denture typically consists of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base, which is connected to a metal framework that holds the denture securely in place.
Immediate Dentures
Immediate dentures are designed to be placed right after your teeth are extracted, so you don’t have to go without teeth during the healing process. These dentures are made in advance, allowing you to have a temporary set of teeth while your gums heal. Once the healing is complete, adjustments or a new set of dentures may be necessary to ensure a proper fit.
Caring for Your Dentures
Proper care is essential to maintaining the longevity and appearance of your dentures. We recommend cleaning your dentures daily with a soft toothbrush and denture cleaner. Soaking the dentures overnight in a cleaning solution or water will keep them moist and retain the shape.
We also recommend you rinse your dentures after each meal to loosen any food particles that get stuck. And finally, visit the dentist regularly for routine checkups to make sure your dentures are performing optimally.
