Whether you are missing a few teeth or need a full set of replacements, dentures and partials are excellent options to help you regain your smile. Let us walk you through the differences and benefits of each to help you make an informed decision.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are custom-made dental appliances designed to replace a full set of missing teeth. They rest comfortably on your gums and are made from durable materials that mimic natural teeth. Full dentures are often recommended when all the teeth in an arch are missing. They provide support for facial muscles, improving both function and aesthetics.
What Are Partials?
Partials, or partial dentures, are used when you still have some natural teeth remaining. These appliances are designed to fill in the gaps where teeth are missing, preventing the remaining teeth from shifting out of place. Partials are anchored to your natural teeth with metal clasps or precision attachments, ensuring they stay securely in place while allowing you to eat, speak and smile with confidence.
Benefits of Dentures and Partials
Both dentures and partials offer numerous benefits for those experiencing tooth loss. Some key advantages include:
- Improved Appearance: Dentures and partials restore the natural look of your smile, enhancing your overall facial structure.
- Enhanced Chewing and Speaking: Replacing missing teeth helps improve your ability to chew food properly and speak clearly.
- Boosted Confidence: You can enjoy the pleasure of having a full smile again.
- Support for Facial Muscles: Dentures provide necessary support for the muscles in your face, preventing sagging and maintaining a youthful appearance.
Caring for Your Dentures and Partials
Proper care and maintenance of your dentures and partials are crucial for ensuring their longevity and effectiveness. We recommend the following tips to keep your dental appliances in top condition:
- Clean your dentures and partials daily using a soft-bristled brush and denture cleaner.
- Remove your dentures at night to allow your gums to rest and to prevent bacterial buildup.
- Store your dentures when you are not using them.
- Visit us regularly for check-ups and adjustments to ensure a perfect fit.
