We know that missing teeth can significantly impact a patient’s quality of life, affecting not only their ability to eat and speak but also their self-esteem. That’s why we offer full and partial dentures, which are crafted to restore smiles and improve oral functionality.

What Are Full & Partial Dentures?

• Full Dentures:
• Full dentures, also known as complete dentures, are prosthetics designed to replace entire arches of missing teeth in either the upper or lower jaw. They are custom-made with the objective of fitting securely over the gums without causing pain and repairing function and aesthetics.

• Partial Dentures:
• These dentures are often used when some natural teeth remain in the mouth. Partial dentures are crafted to fill in the gaps left by missing teeth while supporting the surrounding natural teeth.

Who Can Benefit From These Prosthetics?

• Patients with one or more missing teeth: Many patients experience tooth loss due to age-related factors, making dentures a valuable option that may restore their oral health. Seniors who have lost one or more teeth or had them extracted can benefit from partial or full dentures.
• Patients with certain dental conditions: Individuals with conditions that lead to the loss of multiple teeth, such as periodontal disease, can find relief and improved function with dentures.

How Should You Care For Full & Partial Dentures?

• Rinse Before Brushing: Start by rinsing your dentures under running water to remove loose food particles or debris, which can make the brushing process more effective.
• Oral Hygiene: While brushing your dentures, take the time to clean your mouth completely. Brush your gums, cheeks, the roof of your mouth, and tongue to remove any plaque buildup. This practice can help reduce the risk of oral irritation and bad breath.
• Storage: When you’re not wearing your dentures, store them in a secure place, submerged in water which may prevent them from drying out and warping.
• Using Adhesives: If you choose denture adhesives, familiarize yourself with the different forms available, including creams, powders, pads/wafers, strips, or liquids. Always read and follow the instructions carefully.
