A denture replaces missing teeth and can restore your ability to chew and speak normally. At A+ Dental Specialists, we offer different types of dentures, including partial and complete dentures. Full dentures are used when all the teeth are missing, while partial dentures fill in the gaps where one or more teeth are missing.
Dentures are much more natural looking and comfortable than they used to be because they are made using modern materials and techniques. These allow us to create dentures that fit more securely and precisely and provide a more natural feel and look. With modern dentures, you can eat and speak comfortably and confidently.
Complete dentures replace all missing teeth in either the upper or lower arch. These dentures have an acrylic base that covers the gums and a complete set of replacement teeth that fit on top of the base. They are held in place by a special adhesive paste, which must sometimes be reapplied daily. Complete dentures rest on the gums and they need to be removed for cleaning. However, they can be removed easily for cleaning and when sleeping.
Partial dentures are used when a patient has some healthy remaining teeth. The partial denture consists of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base made of plastic or metal. The base is attached to the remaining teeth and holds the false teeth in place. Partial dentures also have to be removed for cleaning.
Restored Aesthetics
Dentures can enhance the appearance of your smile and improve facial appearance by providing support to the lips and cheeks, which can help minimize sagging and wrinkles.
Improved Chewing and Speaking Abilities
Dentures allow you to regain the ability to chew a wider variety of foods and speak more clearly, especially if missing teeth are causing difficulties.
Restored Oral Function
Dentures provide a functional replacement for missing teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
Support for Facial Structure
Dentures help maintain the face's natural structure by supporting the underlying facial muscles, preventing the face from appearing sunken or aged.
Dentures should be cleaned daily with a soft toothbrush and cleaner to remove plaque, stains, and bacteria.
Dentures should be soaked in water or a denture-cleaning solution overnight to keep them moist and prevent warping.
You must visit our dentist regularly for adjustments, relining, or repairs to ensure that your dentures continue to fit correctly and function effectively.
Dentures can significantly improve the quality of life of patients with missing teeth, restoring their ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
