Composed of a durable plastic resin and sometimes porcelain, both partial and full dentures can be fabricated to look and feel natural. Today\u2019s dentures are custom-fit to make it possible to eat foods with confidence and speak articulately. Depending on the patient\u2019s preferences and budget, dentures can be crafted for maximum comfort and fracture resistance backed up by limited warranties.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4>Did you know&#8230;<\/h4>\n<p>that more than 60 percent of American adults are missing one or more teeth? Approximately 10 percent are missing all of their teeth \u2013 requiring a prosthetic solution that will restore function and aesthetics to their smiles. Many of those dental patients choose partial or full dentures to replace missing teeth. In fact, it is estimated that 35 million Americans currently wear partial or full dentures \u2013 a number that is only expected to rise as baby boomers begin to reach retirement.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Am I a candidate for dentures?<\/h3>\n<p>You may be a candidate for dentures if you are missing one or more teeth and are in need of an affordable prosthetic solution. Most denture wearers find that partial and full dentures can restore much of their original tooth function \u2013 not to mention create a beautiful, natural-looking smile. To find out if dentures are right for you, schedule a consultation with your dentist.<\/p>\n<h3>What should I expect when being fit for dentures?<\/h3>\n<p>If you have any decayed or damaged teeth that need to be removed, they will be extracted before your dentist takes a mold of your remaining gum structure, as well as the roof of your mouth. This mold will be sent to a dental lab for denture fabrication. When the completed dentures are completed, you will return to your dentist for a final fitting.<\/p>\n<h3>Will I need to follow any special instructions to care for my new dentures?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Dentures are removable prosthetics that will need to be cleaned and brushed daily. You should also brush your gums daily to prevent infections caused by bacteria. Your dentures should be kept in water when they aren\u2019t in use to prevent them from warping. Keep in mind that it may take some time to adjust to dentures as you learn how to use the muscles in your cheeks and tongue to keep them in place. But over time, you should begin to feel more comfortable with your new prosthetics.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Partial Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like a bridge, partial dentures rest on surrounding teeth to fill in the gaps where one or more teeth are missing. But unlike a bridge, partial dentures are fully removable by the wearer. Partials are affordable alternatives to other types of dental prosthetics\u00a0and are custom-made to blend in with each patient\u2019s natural teeth. It takes a little time to adapt to new partials, but many people find that they reclaim much of their original function and aesthetics with partial dentures in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Did you know?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Partial dentures require gentle care and frequent cleaning. Once you get your new partial dentures, you\u2019ll need to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Keep them moist at all times by soaking them in a denture solution when not in use<\/li>\n<li>Gently brush your dentures daily using a soft-bristle toothbrush<\/li>\n<li>Be careful not to drop your partial dentures, as they may break<\/li>\n<li>Avoid exposing your partial to hot temperatures that could cause warping<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Removable Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dentures are removable tooth prosthetics designed to look and function like natural teeth. For thousands of years, some form of denture has been used to fill in the gaps left by missing teeth, although today\u2019s dentures are much more advanced and easier to care for. Most dentures are composed of replacement teeth attached to plastic bases that take on the appearance of the gums. They are used to compensate for one or more missing teeth, and are available as partials and complete sets of teeth. Many dental patients elect dentures for tooth replacement if they are not candidates for dental implants or are otherwise looking for a tooth replacement option that is more affordable and budget-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Did you know\u2026<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your dentures are custom-designed to fit your smile, but did you know that improperly caring for them can cause them to become distorted? Most removable dentures must maintain moisture to retain their shape. Be sure to wash them after eating, gently clean them once daily, and allow them to soak overnight in a denture soaking solution. This will keep your dentures clean and free of stains, which ultimately helps your smile look its best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dentures Dentures are an effective and affordable way of replacing missing teeth.
