Do You Need Dentures?

If you answer yes to any of these questions, you might need dentures!

  • Do you have decay from cavities that have progressed to the point of no return?
  • Are you suffering from gum disease that has led to tooth loss?
  • Have you had an accident or injury that has damaged or knocked out your teeth?
  • Are your teeth wearing down because of your age?
  • Do you want a drastic cosmetic improvement?

Types of Dentures

Full dentures are used to replace all of the teeth in your jaw. They can be either upper or lower (or both) and are made by taking an impression of your mouth and creating a custom-fitted appliance. Partial dentures, on the other hand, are used to replace a few missing teeth and are usually held in place by clasps that attach to your remaining teeth.

Choosing the Right Appliance Depends On

  1. The health of your remaining teeth and gums.
  2. Your lifestyle and preferences.
  3. The budget for your restoration.

The Longevity of Your Dentures

The lifespan of this dental restorative depends on several factors, such as the quality of the materials used, your oral hygiene habits, and whether you’re keeping up with regular dental check-ups. If you follow the best care, it’ll last for years!

The Golden Rules for Maintaining Your Dentures

  • They should be cleaned daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and denture cleaner.
  • They should be soaked overnight in a denture-cleaning solution.
  • They should be stored in a case when not in use.
