Dentures at dental destination

Dentures are prosthetic devices constructed to replace missing teeth and their associated functions within the oral cavity. They are designed to closely resemble natural teeth and gums, restoring both the appearance and functionality of the mouth. Dentures are supported by the surrounding soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity, providing stability and support for eating, speaking, and smiling.

There are two main types of dentures: partial dentures and complete dentures. Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain, while complete dentures are used when all natural teeth are missing.

Partial dentures consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base, which is often made of acrylic or a combination of acrylic and metal. The base is designed to blend in with the natural gum tissue and may have metal clasps or other attachments that secure the denture to the remaining natural teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions - Dentures

What are dentures?

Dentures are prosthetic devices constructed to replace missing teeth and their functions. They are custom-crafted to fit comfortably and are supported by the surrounding soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity.

What types of dentures do you offer?

We offer comprehensive solutions tailored to your unique requirements, including full complete dentures, custom-crafted Removable Partial Dentures (RPD), and advanced implant-supported dentures.

What are implant-supported dentures?

Implant-supported dentures involve placing surgically anchored titanium screws into your jaw bone. These act as a sturdy, stable anchor to snap your dentures securely into place, ensuring maximum comfort, function, and a completely natural appearance.

How long does it take to adapt to wearing new dentures?

It usually takes a few weeks to get fully used to new dentures. Pronouncing certain words and chewing may require a bit of practice initially, but your mouth muscles and tongue will quickly adapt to holding them comfortably in place.

Should I remove my dentures at night?

Yes, it is highly recommended to remove your dentures at night. This allows your gums and underlying bone tissues a chance to rest, heal, and stay healthy, preventing potential irritation or bacterial buildup.

How should I clean and care for my dentures?

Dentures should be brushed daily with a soft-bristled brush and a non-abrasive denture cleanser to remove food particles and plaque. When not in use, always store them in water or a mild denture-soaking solution so they do not dry out or lose their shape.
