What are the denture options available?

Dentures offer a versatile option for replacing missing teeth, regardless of how many teeth you’ve lost. Common denture options include:

  • Complete dentures: These replace a full arch of missing teeth, in one arch or both. Dentures are composed of artificial teeth attached to a base that resembles gum tissue. The upper dentures cover the roof of the mouth, whereas the lower dentures are shaped like a horseshoe to fit around the tongue comfortably and aid in swallowing.
  • Partials: Partials are excellent if you have healthy teeth remaining. They fill the toothless gaps and are supported by nearby teeth with removable clasps. Our dentures are crafted from lifelike materials, giving them a seamless appearance.
  • Implant-supported dentures: If you want more stability with dentures, you can opt for implant dentures. These dentures are anchored with dental implants, providing unrivaled stability when chewing or speaking. Patients describe implant dentures as having their real teeth back.

Modern dentures are a far cry from those of the past. Today’s designs are lightweight, durable, and incredibly natural-looking. Their improved aesthetics and comfort make them popular, even among younger patients in their 20s, 30s, and 40s.

Are dentures worth it?

Whether you opt for complete or partial dentures, you’ll be thrilled to discover that they offer numerous benefits beyond filling toothless gaps.

These include:

  • Restore your smile: Dentures fill gaps left by missing teeth, helping you smile confidently.
  • Enhanced oral function: Eat a wider range of foods and speak more clearly.
  • Support facial structure: They maintain your face’s natural shape and prevent a sunken appearance.
  • Affordability: Restore your smile and confidence without breaking the bank.
  • Versatility: Whether missing a few teeth or all of them, we can customize dentures to your needs.
  • Confidence boost: Take selfies, meet new friends, and enjoy life without holding back.

How do I care for my dentures?

Implant-supported dentures remain fixed in the mouth, so they are maintained like natural teeth with brushing and flossing. Removable dentures require extra care. It’s essential to adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Clean them daily: Rinse your dentures with cold/lukewarm water whenever you remove them from your mouth. Brush your dentures daily with a soft brush and mild soap solution. Don’t use toothpaste, as it can damage the surface.
  • Soak them overnight: Don’t sleep while wearing your dentures. Instead, soak them in water or denture solution to keep them moist. This also helps your gums relax and prevents gum infections.
  • Handle with care: Our dentures are strong, but inappropriate usage can cause breakage. Clean your dentures over a folded towel or a basin of water to cushion them from damage, just in case you drop them.
  • Professional care: Visit our office every six months to check the condition of your dentures and make adjustments for a comfortable fit.
