Are you tired of hiding your smile because of missing teeth or uncomfortable dentures? Look no further, because we have the ultimate guide to restoring your smile and confidence with dentures. From choosing the right type of denture for you, to proper maintenance and care, we'll cover everything you need to know about this affordable and effective solution. 

What are Dentures?

Dentures are a popular and effective way to restore your smile and confidence. They are custom-made to fit your mouth and can be made to look natural. Dentures can be used to replace all of your teeth or just some of them. If you have lost all of your teeth, you will need a complete set of dentures. If you have lost some of your teeth, you may only need a partial set of dentures.

Dentures must be kept clean, just like your regular teeth. You should brush them at least twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and nonabrasive toothpaste. You should also soak them in a mild cleanser overnight to keep them clean and fresh-looking. It is important to visit your dentist regularly to get your dentures checked and cleaned.

Benefits of Getting Dentures

There are many benefits to getting dentures, including restoring your smile and confidence. Dentures can also help improve your oral health by making it easier to eat and chew food and by providing support for your lips and cheeks. They can also help you speak more clearly.

Types of Dentures

There are two main types of dentures: complete and partial. Complete dentures are used when all of the natural teeth have been removed, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth still remain.

Complete Dentures

Complete dentures are also known as full dentures. They are used to replace all of the natural teeth in the upper or lower jaw or both. A complete denture is made up of a plastic base that fits over the gums, with artificial teeth attached to the base. Complete dentures are usually worn during the day and taken out at night. They should be removed for cleaning on a daily basis.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are also known as partial plates. They are used to replace one or more missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw or both. A partial denture is made up of a plastic base that fits over the gums, with artificial teeth attached to the base. Partial dentures are usually worn during the day and taken out at night. They should be removed for cleaning on a daily basis.

If you are considering dentures, then speak to your dentist to discuss what is best for your individual needs. No matter which type of denture treatment you choose, we wish you a speedy recovery and a restored sense of confidence in your smile!
