Dentures & Partials: An Overview
Complete and partial dentures are designed to replace missing teeth. Partials are best for patients who still have most of their natural teeth, while full dentures are intended for those missing an entire arch of teeth. Both types are custom-made for a comfortable, secure fit, helping restore oral function and create a fuller, more confident smile.
Reasons for Needing Dentures or Partials
Dentures or partials may be recommended for patients missing multiple teeth. In some cases, extraction of loose or severely decayed teeth may be required before creating your prosthetic. Dentures restore the appearance of your smile and facial structure while improving function, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods. With proper care, dentures can last for many years and be replaced or updated as needed.
Dental Candidates for Dentures and Partials
During a consultation, we will determine whether a full or partial denture is best for you. Most patients can safely and comfortably receive a custom-made denture. The process usually involves several visits to ensure a precise fit and optimal comfort. If you have severely damaged or loose teeth, extractions may be recommended before creating your denture to achieve the best results.
The Denture and Partial Procedure Explained
The first step is taking impressions of your mouth, which are essential for creating a denture that fits accurately. At your next appointment, the denture is fitted, and minor adjustments are made to enhance comfort and function. Some patients may need one or two follow-up visits for additional fine-tuning. Removing your denture each night for cleaning is important to prevent plaque buildup and odors.
