FAQ's
Dentures are removable dental prosthetics used to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues, while partials are similar but replace only some missing teeth, anchoring to remaining natural teeth.
Generally, most individuals with missing teeth and good overall dental health are candidates for dentures or partials. However, suitability may depend on gum health, bone density, and oral hygiene.
While dentures and partials are generally safe, there are some risks, such as potential irritation of the gums, sore spots, or difficulty adjusting to wearing them. In order to minimize these risks, you should maintain good dental hygiene and schedule regular dental appointments.
Dentures and partials can last several years with proper care and maintenance. However, due to changes in the mouth’s structure or wear and tear, they may need adjustments or replacements over time.
In most cases, the process involves several steps, such as initial consultations, impressions, tooth preparation (if necessary), fitting, and adjustments. Dental professionals guide patients through each step to ensure proper fit and function.
Denture and partial care involves daily cleaning with a soft brush and denture cleaner, soaking them overnight in a denture solution, and regular visits to the dentist for check-ups and adjustments. Following proper care instructions helps maintain their longevity and effectiveness.
