Dentures

The Different Types of Dentures

 Depending on individual needs, dentures can be full (replacing all teeth) or partial (replacing some missing teeth while preserving natural ones). Several types of dentures and services are available to ensure a comfortable, functional fit:

Immediate Dentures – Temporary dentures placed right after tooth extraction, allowing patients to maintain their smile while the gums heal.

Partial Dentures for Back Teeth – Designed to replace missing molars and premolars, these dentures restore chewing function and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting.

Treatments for Common Denture Problems – Solutions for issues like discomfort, looseness, sore spots, and speech difficulties to ensure optimal comfort and function.

Denture Adjustments – Modifications made to improve the fit and comfort of dentures, preventing irritation and ensuring better stability.

Who Needs to Wear Dentures?

Dentures are ideal for individuals who have lost multiple or all of their teeth due to aging, decay, gum disease, or injury. They help restore oral function, improve speech, and enhance facial structure by providing support to the lips and cheeks.

People who experience difficulty chewing, shifting teeth, or significant tooth loss may benefit from full or partial dentures to maintain a natural smile and overall dental health. Consulting a dentist can determine the best denture option based on individual needs.

Benefits of Wearing Dentures

Dentures restore chewing ability, speech clarity, and facial structure, improving both function and appearance. They help prevent jawbone deterioration and shifting of remaining teeth, maintaining overall oral health.

Modern dentures are comfortable, natural-looking, and custom-fitted, allowing individuals to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Whether full or partial, they provide an effective solution for replacing missing teeth and enhancing quality of life.

How to Maintain Dentures?

Proper denture care helps extend their lifespan, ensures comfort, and maintains oral health. Follow these essential steps to keep your dentures in great condition:



• Clean Daily – Brush dentures with a soft-bristle brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner to remove food particles and plaque.
• Soak Overnight – Keep dentures in water or a denture solution overnight to prevent drying and maintain their shape.
• Handle with Care – Avoid dropping dentures by cleaning them over a soft towel or a water-filled sink.
• Rinse After Eating – Remove and rinse dentures after meals to prevent food buildup and bacteria growth.
• Maintain Oral Hygiene – Clean your gums, tongue, and any remaining natural teeth daily to prevent infections and bad breath.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals – Do not use regular toothpaste, bleach, or hot water, as they can damage the dentures.
• Schedule Regular Dental Checkups – Visit your dentist for adjustments, relining, or replacement to ensure a proper fit and long-term comfort.
