Modern DenturesFor Every Smile
In the past, dentures were considered as a substitution for teeth which were mainly utilized by senior citizens and the elderly. However, with modern advancements in the dental field, new materials and techniques and more realistic dentures, people from all walks of life are revitalizing their smiles with full or partial dentures.
Why PatientsChoose Dentures
Gum disease is not the only reason people need full or partial dentures. Celebrities and athletes who have experienced traumatic injury have been able to turn to partial dentures in order to restore their smiles and self-confidence. The durability of dentures depends on the materials used to make them and the maintenance given them by the owner.
Types ofDentures
There are two main types of dentures. The type a patient will need will depend largely on how advanced their gum disease may be, or how traumatic the injury to their teeth might be. At Dental Brothers, our professional staff will determine if metal, acrylic, or porcelain dentures are right for each patient’s specific needs.
Modern full and partial dentures are fully customizable. These new dentures are designed individually to compliment the wearer’s facial symmetry and provide a realistic and healthy look.
Full or “Complete” Dentures
If a patient is in need of a complete replacement of all the teeth in their mouth, “conventional” dentures are generally used. These dentures would not only replace all of the teeth in the mouth, but also help provide much needed support to the patient’s facial muscles and cheeks. This is especially important because patients want a realistic look that provides realistic symmetry to their faces.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are used in cases where only some of the patient’s teeth need replacing. It’s important that healthy, existing teeth do not shift in the mouth due to spaces where teeth used to exist. Partial dentures can be affixed to existing teeth for support to fill the space where missing or damaged teeth used to be, thereby preventing shifting and restoring a healthy smile.
MaintainingDentures
To keep your dentures lasting and comfortable, it’s important to follow proper cleaning and care routines. Full and partial dentures should be removed at night, cleaned thoroughly, and soaked in a disinfecting solution to prevent bacteria buildup. Practicing good oral hygiene also helps protect your remaining natural teeth and ensures a healthy mouth overall. As your gums heal or change, small adjustments may be needed to maintain a secure and comfortable fit. At Dental Brothers, we’ll make sure your dentures are customized for your needs so you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence every day.
Dentures & PartialsFAQs
What is the difference between full and partial dentures?
Full dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. Both are custom-made to fit comfortably and restore your ability to chew and speak with confidence.
How long do dentures typically last?
With proper care, dentures can last between 5 and 10 years. Over time, your gums and jawbone may change shape, so periodic adjustments or replacements help ensure a secure and comfortable fit.
Will dentures affect the way I talk or eat?
It may take a short adjustment period to get used to your dentures, but most patients quickly adapt. Our team ensures your dentures are well-fitted so you can eat, speak, and smile naturally.
How should I care for my dentures?
Clean your dentures daily using a soft brush and non-abrasive cleaner, and soak them overnight in a denture solution to keep them fresh. Maintaining regular dental visits also helps ensure a proper fit and long-term comfort.
