What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth in your upper jaw, lower jaw or both, and restore your smile’s functionality. There are many types of dentures, including full, partial and implant-supported dentures. Dentures are crafted from materials like resin, acrylic, nylon, metal and porcelain. With proper maintenance and care, dentures can last 7-10 years, making them a durable and effective option for missing teeth.

Full Dentures

Full dentures, often referred to as “false teeth,” are used when all natural teeth are missing in either the upper or lower jaw. Full dentures are crafted to fit comfortably and securely over your gums, allowing you to regain your ability to chew and speak naturally. They are made up of a plastic base that is worn over your gums, relying on your palate (the roof of your mouth) or lower jawbone ridge for support. They can be removed and reinserted by the wearer. Full dentures offer a comprehensive solution for those individuals with complete tooth loss, restoring both function and aesthetics. Compared to other alternative tooth replacement options, full dentures are generally cost effective. Beyond tooth replacement, full dentures help to maintain the natural structure of the face, preventing the sunken appearance that can result from expensive tooth loss.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are used when you still have some natural teeth remaining. These dentures fill in the gaps, providing support for your existing teeth and helping to maintain your smile’s aesthetics. They are attached to the existing teeth with special metal clasps or attachments. The wearer can also remove partial dentures for cleaning. Partial dentures will help maintain existing teeth, helping to prevent their shifting and preserving overall dental alignment. Partial dentures tend to be more stable than full dentures since they can be anchored to remaining teeth. Designed to integrate with existing teeth, partial dentures allow for more natural speech and chewing patterns.
