What Are Dentures and Partial ?
Complete and partial dentures are dental prosthetics designed to replace missing teeth. Partial dentures are best for individuals who still have some natural teeth remaining, while full dentures are recommended for those who have lost all of the teeth in one or both arches. Both types are custom-crafted to fit your mouth comfortably and securely, helping to restore proper oral function and enhance your smile for increased confidence.
Why Might You Need Dentures or Partial Dentures?
Dentures or partials may be recommended if you are missing multiple teeth. In some cases, extractions of loose or severely decayed teeth may be necessary before your prosthetic can be made. Dentures not only restore the appearance of your smile and support facial structure, but they also improve functionality, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods with ease. With proper care, dentures can last for many years and can be replaced or updated as needed.
Who Qualifies for Dentures and Partial Dentures?
In a consultation, we can assess whether a full or partial denture suits your needs. Most patients are good candidates for a custom-made denture. The process usually requires multiple visits to achieve an accurate fit and optimal comfort. If your teeth are severely damaged or loose, we may suggest extractions before crafting your denture to ensure the best outcome.
Expectations During the Denture or Partial Denture Process
The process begins with taking impressions of your mouth, which are essential for creating a denture that fits precisely. During your next visit, the denture is placed, and minor adjustments are made to enhance comfort and function. Some patients may need one or two follow-up appointments for further fine-tuning. It’s important to remove your denture each night for cleaning to prevent plaque buildup and odors.
