Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth. They are popular options and have a high success rate for rebuilding smiles.
Dentures can be full or partial. Full dentures are used when patients miss all their natural teeth, while partial dentures are used when only a few teeth are missing. Our dentists at Spring Leaf Dentistry will customize denture treatment specifically for you and help you select the right treatment option.
A complete denture is recommended for patients who have last most or all of their natural teeth. Full dentures provide benefits like improving speech and the ability to chew. They also enhance the facial appearance and provide support for facial muscles. Full denture can be on your upper jaw, lower jaw, or both.
Tooth decay or gum diseases can lead to the decision of removing your tooth on one or both arches. Most likely, a full denture treatment is recommended in these cases. Although conventional full dentures have a good success rate, dental implants will help secure dentures firmly to your jaw. Implant-supported dentures last long and provide excellent retention and a more natural look.
Partial dentures are recommended when you lose one or more teeth. They are an economical solution to fill in spaces and improve the ability to chew, and help restore your confident smile. A partial denture help keep your natural teeth from shifting, lowering the risk of losing those teeth in the future.
Make sure to brush the dentures daily to remove food, plaque, and stains. Use of a denture brush is recommended. Household cleaners and some kinds of toothpaste may be too abrasive and should not be used to clean dentures. Look for denture cleansers that are accepted by American Dental Association (ADA). Every morning make sure to brush your gums, tongue, and palate before putting your dentures on.
