Understanding Dentures and Partials
Complete and partial dentures are designed to replace missing teeth. Partials work well for patients who still have most of their natural teeth, while full dentures are ideal for those missing an entire arch. Both types are custom-made for a comfortable, secure fit, restoring oral function and helping you achieve a fuller, more confident smile.
Reasons to Consider Dentures or Partials
Dentures or partials may be recommended if you are missing several teeth. In some cases, extractions of loose or severely decayed teeth may be needed before creating your prosthetic. Dentures restore the appearance of your smile and facial structure while improving function, making it easier to eat your favorite foods. With proper care, dentures can last for many years and be updated or replaced as needed.
Are Dentures or Partials Right for You?
During your consultation, we’ll determine whether a full or partial denture is the best option for you. Most patients can safely and comfortably receive a custom-made denture. The process usually requires 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.
What to Expect When Getting Dentures or Partials
The first step is taking impressions of your mouth, which are essential for creating a denture that fits accurately. At your next visit, the denture is placed and adjusted for optimal comfort and function. Some patients may need one or two follow-up visits for additional fine-tuning. Removing your denture each night for cleaning helps prevent plaque buildup and odors.
