What’s the difference between full and partial dentures?
Full dentures replace all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. Because of this, full dentures are typically recommended for patients who have lost all their teeth in a specific arch, whereas partial dentures help fill gaps left by missing teeth while preserving the remaining natural teeth. Full dentures also rest directly on the gums, while partial dentures are anchored to the remaining teeth using clasps or precision attachments.
How do you take care of dentures?
Proper denture care includes removing and cleaning your restorations daily to prevent plaque, stains, and bacterial buildup. Dentures should be brushed with a soft-bristle toothbrush and a non-abrasive denture cleaner, not toothpaste. They should also be soaked in water or a denture cleaning solution overnight to maintain their shape. It’s very important to clean your gums, tongue, and any remaining natural teeth daily as well. Regular dental checkups are crucial for ensuring the proper fit and function of dentures, as well as monitoring oral health.
Who is a candidate for dentures?
Anyone who has lost multiple teeth or is at risk of losing all their teeth due to decay, injury, or gum disease may be a candidate for dentures. Dentures can improve overall appearance, support facial muscles, and help with speaking and chewing. Candidates should also have healthy gums and sufficient bone structure to support the denture. Full and partial dentures can be great restorative options for patients who are not candidates for dental implants or those who want a less invasive alternative as well.
