Denture

Dentures are removable oral appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore the appearance and function of your smile. Whether you're missing a few teeth or need a full set, dentures offer a versatile and effective solution for patients seeking to regain their ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.

Types of Dentures

Full Dentures

Full dentures are designed to replace an entire arch of missing teeth, whether in the upper or lower jaw. They rest directly on the gums and are secured in place through suction or denture adhesives.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are recommended when some natural teeth remain. They consist of replacement teeth attached to a metal or acrylic base, which is secured to the remaining natural teeth using clasps or precision attachments.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures provide enhanced stability and support by attaching the denture to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone. This option offers increased comfort and prevents the denture from slipping or shifting during daily activities.

Signs You May Need Dentures

Missing Teeth: If you have lost multiple teeth due to decay, trauma, or other dental issues.

Difficulty in Chewing: Inability to chew food properly due to missing teeth or dental problems.

Speech Issues: Difficulty pronouncing certain words or sounds due to missing teeth affecting speech.

Changes in Facial Structure: Loss of facial volume and sagging due to missing teeth, affecting your overall appearance.

The Denture Fitting Process

Consultation: Our experienced dentist will conduct a comprehensive examination, discuss your oral health history, and determine the most suitable type of denture for your needs.

Impressions: Precise impressions of your gums and any remaining teeth are taken to create custom-fitted dentures that provide optimal comfort and functionality.

Trial and Adjustment: During subsequent appointments, you'll try on the dentures for fit and comfort. Any necessary adjustments will be made to ensure a secure and comfortable fit.

Final Placement: Once the dentures are customized to your satisfaction, they will be securely placed, and you'll receive guidance on proper care and maintenance.

Caring for Your Dentures

Cleaning: Regularly clean your dentures using a soft brush and mild denture cleaner to remove plaque, stains, and bacteria.

Oral Hygiene: Even with dentures, it's essential to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing your gums, tongue, and any remaining natural teeth.

Check-ups: Schedule regular check-ups to monitor the fit of your dentures and address any adjustments or concerns.

Improved Aesthetics: Dentures restore your smile and facial appearance, enhancing your overall aesthetic appeal.

Enhanced Functionality: Regain the ability to chew and speak comfortably, improving your overall quality of life.

Prevents Shifting: Dentures prevent the remaining natural teeth from shifting into the gaps left by missing teeth.
