Dentures are removable appliances that can replace either some or all of a patient’s missing teeth. Dentures can aid in eating, speaking, and patient confidence.
Dentures are some of the best ways to replace multiple missing teeth, but they are not the only options patients have. Dental bridges and implants can also be used to replace missing teeth. Make sure to ask about all your options to determine what might be right for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of dentures are there?
Dentures can replace some or all of the teeth. When dentures replace all of the teeth, they are called complete dentures.
Complete dentures rest on the gums and can have improved stability by being attached to dental implants.
Partial dentures are attached to present teeth and cover gaps.
How do I care for my dentures?
Do not brush dentures with normal toothpaste; use a dish washing liquid and a denture brush to clean the dentures, then soak them in a water-based cleaning solution.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Dentures can be tricky to use at first. With time and patience, patients will be able to eat as they normally would with dentures. Do not use chewing gum if you have dentures.
Are dentures permanent?
No. Most dentures can be removed and changed freely.
