Dentures are a common path of treatment for patients with multiple missing teeth. Whether you are missing a few teeth or a full arch of teeth, dentures can help restore health and function to your smile. Additionally, dentures can enhance the beauty of your smile by restoring the natural appearance of your face and profile.

Depending on the needs of your smile, you may be best suited for either complete dentures or partial dentures. A complete denture can be used to replace a full arch of missing teeth, whereas a partial denture is best for multiple missing teeth with a few natural teeth remaining. Partial dentures consist of a thin metal frame with plastic connected to a set of artificial teeth. According to the number of your missing teeth and their positions, our dentist can help customize the comfort and security of your dentures.

During the first few weeks of wearing your dentures, you may feel slightly unaccustomed to wearing them and may experience minor levels of irritation or soreness until your mouth becomes more adjusted to them. Over time, problems with discomfort should go away, so you will feel more comfortable with your dentures. We highly recommend that you practice good hygiene habits to take care of your dentures and keep your mouth in top condition. You should brush your gums, your tongue and the roof of your mouth before inserting your dentures in the morning.
