Dentures & Partials
What Are Dentures & Partials?
Dentures and partials are removable dental appliances used to replace missing teeth. Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures replace one or several missing teeth, attaching to remaining natural teeth. They improve chewing, speech, and appearance, and help maintain facial structure. Dentures and partials are custom-made to fit the patient's mouth, providing a functional and aesthetic solution for tooth loss.
What is the difference between full dentures and partial dentures?
Full dentures replace all teeth in one jaw, while partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth, attaching to remaining natural teeth. Both types are removable dental appliances designed to restore chewing function, speech, and aesthetics for individuals with missing teeth.
How should I care for and maintain my dentures or partials?
Proper care for dentures and partials involves daily cleaning with a soft brush and denture cleaner, soaking them overnight in a denture solution, and regular visits to the dentist for adjustments and professional cleaning. Avoiding hot water and harsh chemicals helps preserve their integrity and lifespan.
