Dentures

DENTURES/PARTIAL DENTURES

Dentures are an effective and affordable way of replacing missing teeth. Composed of a durable plastic resin and sometimes porcelain, both partial and full dentures can be fabricated to look and feel natural. Today’s dentures are custom-fit to make it possible to eat foods with confidence and speak articulately. Depending on the patient’s preferences and budget, dentures can be crafted for maximum comfort and fracture resistance backed up by limited warranties.

Like a bridge, partial dentures rest on surrounding teeth to fill in the gaps where one or more teeth are missing. But unlike a bridge, partial dentures are fully removable by the wearer. Partials are affordable alternatives to other types of dental prosthetics and are custom-made to blend in with each patient’s natural teeth. It takes a little time to adapt to new partials, but many people find that they reclaim much of their original function and aesthetics with partial dentures in place.

How do I take care of my dentures?

Dentures need to be removed and cleaned daily with a soft denture-brushing tool. They should also be soaked overnight in a denture-cleaning solution to maintain their shape. Regular dental check-ups are also crucial as the dentist can professionally clean your dentures and monitor your oral health.
Are dentures comfortable?

New dentures may feel uncomfortable or awkward for the first few weeks until you become accustomed to them. However, with time and with any necessary adjustments made by your dentist, they should feel more comfortable.
How long do dentures last?

With proper care, dentures typically last between 5 to 8 years. However, they may need to be relined or remade due to normal wear, or if your mouth naturally changes shape as you age, which can cause the dentures to become loose.
