Dentures

What are dentures, and how do they work?

Dentures are custom-made dental appliances that replace missing teeth and restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently. They are ideal for patients who have lost several or all of their teeth due to decay, injury, or other factors.

Dentures can be full (replacing all teeth in the upper or lower jaw) or partial (replacing a few missing teeth). The process involves taking precise measurements of your mouth to create dentures that fit comfortably and securely.

Our dental team will ensure your dentures fit well and feel natural, with minimal adjustments needed over time. The process begins with a detailed consultation, during which we discuss your needs and any specific concerns you might have. Understanding your expectations helps us tailor the treatment to suit you perfectly.

We then take precise measurements of your mouth, creating molds of your gums and any remaining teeth. Once your dentures are crafted, the initial fitting is conducted. It’s normal for new dentures to require a few adjustments.

After you’ve taken your new dentures home, a follow-up appointment is scheduled. This visit allows us to check on how you are adapting to the dentures and make any necessary minor adjustments to improve comfort and functionality.

Key Benefits:

• Restore functionality and aesthetics
• Customized for comfort and fit
• Made with durable, high-quality materials

What is the difference between full dentures and partial dentures?

Full dentures are designed for individuals who are missing all of their teeth in either the upper or lower jaw—or in some cases, both. These dentures replace the entire set of teeth, resting snugly over the gums. Full dentures not only restore the appearance of a natural, healthy smile but also support facial muscles and aid in speaking and eating, enhancing overall quality of life.

Partial dentures, on the other hand, are suitable for those who still have some of their natural teeth. These dentures fill in the spaces created by missing teeth and can be anchored to the remaining natural teeth with clasps or precision attachments. Partial dentures offer both functional and aesthetic benefits, preventing the remaining teeth from shifting and providing a seamless appearance among natural teeth and the denture.

Both full and partial dentures are crafted with care and precision, tailored to match your existing teeth in color and appearance for a natural look. The choice between the two depends on your specific dental needs and the recommendations of your dental care provider.

Key Considerations

• Full dentures offer a comprehensive solution for those without any teeth, enhancing facial structure and daily functions.
• Partial dentures can fill gaps and blend with existing teeth, maintaining oral structure and aesthetic balance.
• Supportive guidance and personalized assistance are needed to ensure denture choices.
