Overview of Dentures and Partials
Complete and partial dentures are dental prosthetics designed to replace missing teeth. Partial dentures are ideal for individuals who still have some of their natural teeth, while complete dentures are made for those who have lost an entire arch of teeth. Both types are custom-crafted to ensure a comfortable, secure fit, helping to restore oral function and enhance the appearance of the smile.
Why Dentures or Partials Might Be Necessary
When someone is missing multiple teeth, dentures or partials may be advised. Sometimes, any loose or heavily decayed teeth must first be extracted before the dental prosthetic can be constructed. Dentures not only restore your smile and facial structure, but also your ability to chew, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods again. With proper maintenance, they can last for many years and can be relined or replaced as needed.
Who Qualifies for Dentures or Partial Dentures
During your consultation, we’ll help determine whether a full or partial denture is the right solution for you. Most patients can comfortably receive a custom-made denture. The process typically requires several appointments to ensure an accurate fit and maximum comfort. For patients with severely damaged or loose teeth, extractions may be recommended beforehand to achieve the best possible outcome.
Understanding the Denture and Partial Denture Procedure
The process begins with taking precise impressions of your mouth, which are crucial for crafting a denture that fits perfectly. At your next visit, the denture is placed, and small adjustments are made to ensure comfort and proper function. Some patients may require one or two follow-up appointments for additional fine-tuning. It’s important to remove your denture each night for cleaning to prevent plaque buildup and odors.
