Dentures

Replacing your missing or damaged teeth will benefit not only your appearance but your overall health. Using state-of-the-art technology and updated materials, dentures can now be custom designed to look more natural and feel more comfortable.

It may take some time to adjust to your dentures. Speaking and eating may feel different at first, but these regular activities will resume normally once you are accustomed to your dentures.

Complete Dentures

Complete dentures are artificial, removable replacements for the natural teeth of the upper or lower jaw or both.

• Upper dentures
  Upper dentures are held in place by a vacuum created between your appliance and the palate of your mouth.
• Lower dentures
  Lower dentures are horseshoe-shaped to accommodate the tongue, and, due to lack of suction, are often held in place by dental implants placed in the jaw for support.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are removable appliances that replace missing teeth by attaching via a metal framework to your natural teeth.

Caring for your removable appliances:

Proper denture care is essential to the durability of your dentures and the overall health of your mouth.

• Brush your dentures daily with a soft-bristled tooth brush. (Don’t forget to brush your gums and tongue as well.)
• While not being worn, keep your dentures in denture solution and/or water (not hot) to prevent warping.
• Handle with care and keep out of the reach of children and pets
• If your dentures become loose, chip, break or crack, see your dentist.
