What Are Dentures?
Dentures are artificial teeth and gums which replace removed or lost natural teeth. They are custom designed and fitted by our dentist to perfectly fit your mouth, maintaining the natural look and function of your teeth. Depending on your specific needs, dentures can be partial or full.
Your dentures will be specially made in a USA dental laboratory out of a hard resin to fit comfortably into your mouth. The supporting structure that keeps your dentures secure in your mouth is gum-colored and will look like your natural gum line.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
If you have experienced tooth loss, dentures may be a good treatment option for you. Tooth loss does not have to be permanent, and with full or partial dentures, you can restore your beautiful smile as well as the function of a complete set of healthy teeth.
How Do I Care for My Dentures?
To preserve your dentures, you should always remove them before you go to sleep. This gives your gums time to relax as well as helps to prevent damage to your dentures. Keep your dentures submerged in water overnight. You should clean your dentures daily with a soft toothbrush and special denture cleaner to remove bacteria and plaque.
If your dentures start to feel like they do not fit well get in touch with us as we offer dental stabilization to improve denture fit. Dental implants can be used to better stabilize your dentures and dramatically improve comfort and function.
How Do Dentures Work?
Dentures work by providing you with a natural looking set of artificial teeth to replace teeth that are missing. When you have a full denture made, it will be custom made for you to fit comfortably over your gums and jawbone. A partial denture fills in gaps left by a missing tooth. It is essential to not leave a gap in your teeth, as this can alter the structure of your jaw. A partial denture will usually clip onto some of your remaining teeth to be held firmly in place.
What Is the Difference Between Partial Dentures and Full Dentures?
Full dentures will be recommended to you if all of the teeth in one jaw or both have been lost or removed. We can fit them to your top jaw, bottom jaw, or both jaws if full tooth loss has occurred. The denture is held firmly in place on your gum line but is easily removable to clean and while sleeping.
If you only have a few teeth missing, then we may recommend partial dentures. Partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth. They are held in place by being fastened to some of your natural teeth yet can be easily removed for cleaning and sleeping.
