Dentures are a reliable solution for patients who have lost multiple teeth. Whether you need to replace a few teeth or an entire arch, dentures can significantly improve your oral health and the appearance of your smile. They help restore both function and aesthetics, allowing you to speak, eat and smile with confidence.

There are two main types of dentures: complete and partial. Complete dentures are designed for individuals who are missing all their teeth in either the upper or lower jaw. These dentures sit directly on the gums and can provide full restoration of a patient’s smile. Partial dentures, on the other hand, are ideal for those who still have some natural teeth remaining. Partial dentures feature a metal framework that holds artificial teeth, which are designed to blend in seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Wearing dentures may require a short adjustment period. During the initial days of wearing your new dentures, it is common to experience some minor irritation or discomfort. This sensation typically fades as your mouth adapts to the appliance. If discomfort persists, our dentists can make adjustments to ensure a better fit.

Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for denture wearers. Even though dentures are artificial, you still need to take care of your mouth by brushing your gums, tongue and the roof of your mouth before inserting your dentures each day. This helps prevent irritation and promotes better oral health. Additionally, it is important to clean your dentures regularly to keep them in optimal condition.

If you are considering dentures or have questions about the process, we encourage you to schedule a consultation. Our team is here to guide you through the process and ensure that your dentures provide both comfort and confidence.
