Understanding Dentures & Partials
Complete and partial dentures serve to replace missing teeth. Partials are ideal for patients who retain most of their natural teeth, while full dentures are made for those missing an entire dental arch. Both are custom-crafted for a secure, comfortable fit, restoring oral function and helping you achieve a fuller, more confident smile.
Why Dentures or Partials May Be Needed
Dentures or partials are often recommended for patients missing several teeth. In certain cases, damaged or loose teeth may need to be extracted before fitting your prosthetic. Dentures help restore the look of your smile and facial structure while improving function, allowing you to eat your favorite foods comfortably. With proper care, they can last for many years and be replaced or adjusted as needed.
Who Is a Candidate for Dentures and Partials?
At your consultation, we’ll evaluate whether a full or partial denture is the ideal solution for your smile. Most patients can receive a custom denture comfortably and safely. The process generally involves several appointments to ensure an exact fit and optimal comfort. If any teeth are severely damaged or loose, they may need to be removed first to ensure the best possible results.
Understanding the Denture and Partial Procedure
The process begins with taking precise impressions of your mouth, which are crucial for crafting a well-fitting denture. At your next visit, the denture is placed and adjusted for optimal comfort and function. Some patients may require one or two follow-up appointments for further fine-tuning. It’s important to remove your denture nightly for cleaning to prevent plaque buildup and odors.
