What are Dentures?
Dentures are artificial replacement teeth that we use when a patient has lost their natural teeth. Traditional dentures are held in place by a denture adhesive and can be removed, but there are also some types that can be more permanent, like implant-supported dentures or bridge-supported dentures.
Depending on how many teeth you are missing, dentures can be partial or full. Partial dentures tend to be less expensive and easier to care for than full dentures, but they may not be as effective at restoring chewing function. Full dentures, on the other hand, can provide a more natural-looking smile and help to improve chewing ability.
Reasons for Dentures
Patients may need dentures when they have experienced significant tooth loss in one or both rows of teeth. If the patient doesn’t have enough bone density for full dental implants, removable dentures may be an alternative solution to restore the function of the teeth.
Benefits of Dentures
Custom dentures provide many benefits:
Give you back a beautiful, complete smile
Prevent any remaining teeth from shifting or falling out
Allow you to eat and chew properly again
Provide support for facial tissue and gum tissue
Partial & Complete Dentures in Tracy, CA
At Miller’s Family Dentistry, we offer several types of dentures, including partial and complete dentures. Partial dentures are used to replace a few missing teeth, while full dentures are used to replace an entire arch of teeth. Our dentist will work with you to choose the best type of denture for your needs.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures have a plastic base that is fitted over the gums. They have metal clasps that attach to the adjacent teeth for support. These dental appliances can be removed for cleaning and should be stored in a safe, dry place when not in use.
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures replace an entire row of teeth in the upper or lower jaw. They are made from a flesh-colored plastic base that is fitted over the gums. A metal clasp attaches to the remaining natural teeth for support. Full dentures can be taken out for cleaning and should be stored in a safe, dry place when not in use.
Caring for Your Dentures
Once you receive your new artificial teeth, our dentist will give you specific care instructions to ensure they last for a long time. It’s important to take proper care of your dentures in order to maintain good oral hygiene.
Follow these tips to ensure proper cleaning and maintenance of your dentures:
- Be sure to brush your dentures every day with a denture brush and a denture cleaner in order to remove food particles.
- Don’t clean them with toothpaste, as it can damage the dentures.
- Soak them in a special dental solution at least once a day to remove any built-up plaque and bacteria.
- Don’t sleep in your dentures, as this can cause them to become loose or fall out.
