Dentures

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace missing teeth and restore the shape of your smile.

They are custom-made to fit comfortably along the gums and provide support for facial structure.

Dentures are designed to improve both function and appearance, allowing patients to chew, speak, and smile more comfortably.

There are two main types of dentures used to restore missing teeth.

Types of Dentures

Full Dentures

Full dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth. They sit along the gums and restore the full

appearance of the smile when all teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing.

Full dentures are designed to provide natural aesthetics and restore facial support that can be lost when teeth are missing.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. They attach to existing teeth and fill in the gaps created by missing teeth.

Partial dentures help prevent surrounding teeth from shifting while restoring balance to your bite.

Benefits of Dentures

Dentures offer several benefits for patients who have lost multiple teeth.

Restores the Ability to Eat and Speak

Dentures allow patients to chew food more effectively and speak clearly again.

Improves Facial Appearance

Missing teeth can cause facial muscles to sag over time. Dentures help restore natural facial structure and fullness.

Custom Fit

Dentures are carefully crafted to match your mouth and smile for a comfortable and natural appearance.

Affordable Tooth Replacement

Dentures are often one of the most cost-effective solutions for replacing multiple missing teeth.

Improves Confidence

Many patients feel more confident smiling and socializing after restoring their teeth.

The Denture Process

Creating custom dentures typically involves several steps to ensure a proper fit and natural appearance.

Consultation and Examination

Your dentist will evaluate your oral health, discuss treatment options, and determine the best type of denture for your needs.

Impressions and Measurements

Precise impressions of your mouth are taken to create dentures that fit comfortably and function properly.

Custom Denture Fabrication

Your dentures are carefully crafted in a dental laboratory using high-quality materials.

Fitting and Adjustments

Once your dentures are ready, your dentist will ensure they fit properly and make any necessary adjustments for comfort.

Implant-Supported Dentures

For patients looking for additional stability, dentures can also be supported by dental implants.

Implant-supported dentures attach to implants placed in the jawbone, providing a more secure and stable fit.

This option can help reduce movement and improve comfort while eating and speaking.

During your consultation at Orangecrest Family Dental, we can discuss whether implant-supported dentures may be the right option for you.

Caring for Your Dentures

Proper care helps maintain the longevity and comfort of your dentures.

• Clean dentures daily with a denture brush

• Remove and rinse dentures after meals

• Soak dentures overnight when recommended

• Brush your gums and remaining teeth daily

• Visit your dentist regularly for exams and adjustments

Maintaining good oral hygiene helps ensure both your dentures and oral tissues remain healthy.
