Dentures
What Are Dentures?
• Full dentures: Replace all teeth on either the upper or lower jaw, or both.
• Partial dentures: Fill in gaps created by missing teeth, supported by remaining natural teeth with clasps or metal frameworks.
Denture Care:
• Brushing: Clean your dentures daily with a soft-bristled brush and denture cleanser.
• Soaking: Soak your dentures overnight in a denture solution to prevent them from drying out.
• Handling: Handle dentures with care to avoid accidental breakage.
• Regular Checkups: Schedule regular dental visits for denture maintenance and overall oral health monitoring.
Considering Dentures?
• Consultation: During a consultation, your dentist will assess your oral health and discuss your candidacy for dentures. X-rays and impressions may be taken to create a custom denture fit.
• Fabrication: Based on the impressions, your dentures are crafted in a dental lab to ensure a comfortable and natural-looking fit.
• Fittings and Adjustments: Once your dentures are ready, your dentist will ensure proper fit and make any necessary adjustments.
• Living with Dentures: Proper care and cleaning are essential for maintaining your dentures and ensuring their longevity. Your dentist will provide you with specific care instructions.
