What Are Dentures?

A denture is a false tooth or set of teeth that replace missing teeth. Dentures are fully removable. They are made from resin and restore your mouth's natural functions. Based on your needs, dentures can be full or partial. Here’s how the two options differ from one another:

• Full dentures: Full or complete dentures are used by patients who are missing all of their teeth and require a complete replacement. Getting full dentures requires you to get an examination, followed by the extraction of your natural teeth. Full dentures are removable, so you can easily take them out while sleeping or cleaning them.
• Partial dentures: In contrast to full dentures, partial dentures are used when a patient is only missing a few of their teeth. They are much smaller and require to be attached to the adjacent teeth on each side of the gap to fit into your mouth properly.

Both these options offer a natural look and feel, so you can choose the one you require based on your specific condition.  

Who Can Benefit From Dentures?

Dentures can help anyone who is missing some or all of their natural teeth. Many older patients use dentures because teeth tend to decay and even fall out with age. Periodontal disease is another main reason for dentures: it destroys the gums and weakens the teeth, causing them to fall out.

Regardless of the cause, dentures benefit patients of any age who are missing teeth for a variety of reasons. Some of the advantages that dentures offer, include:

• Improved appearance of teeth
• Improved ability to speak
• Improved ability to eat, resulting in better digestion
• Improved quality of life

How to Take Care of Your Dentures?

Dentures must be taken care of properly to last a long time. Here are some tips for maintaining them:

• Do not soak your dentures in hot water as that can alter their shape.
• Avoid the accumulation of food and debris by cleaning your dentures after eating and drinking.
• Clean your dentures using a special cleaning solution or a mild soap instead of abrasive toothpaste.
• Dentures can break easily, so handle them with proper care.
• If your denture breaks, get it fixed by a professional instead of doing it yourself to avoid further damage.
• Always clean your dentures using a soft-bristled toothbrush.
