Dentures

What are Dentures?

Dentures are a dental appliance designed to replace missing teeth. They can be made of acrylic, porcelain, or a combination of both. Dentures are customized to fit the patient’s mouth and are removable, making them easy to clean and maintain. There are two main types of dentures: full dentures and partial dentures.

Full dentures

Full dentures are a popular dental prosthetic used to replace a full set of missing teeth. They’re custom-made to fit the patient’s mouth and designed to look and function like natural teeth. Full dentures are typically made of acrylic or porcelain and can be removable or fixed. 

Partial dentures

If you’re missing one or more teeth but still have some healthy teeth remaining, partial dentures may be a great option for you. Partial dentures are dental prosthetics designed to replace missing teeth while also preserving the remaining healthy teeth. They’re personalized for your mouth and can be removable or fixed.

The Benefits of Dentures

Dentures offer numerous benefits, including:

  • Improved appearance: Dentures can replace missing teeth and restore your smile, improving your appearance and boosting your confidence.
  • Enhanced speech: Missing teeth can affect your speech and make it difficult to pronounce certain words. Dentures can help improve your speech and make it easier to communicate.
  • Better chewing ability: Missing teeth can make it challenging to eat certain foods. Dentures can restore your ability to chew, helping you enjoy a wider variety of foods.
  • Preservation of remaining teeth: Partial dentures can help preserve your remaining natural teeth by providing support and preventing them from shifting out of place.
  • Improved oral health: Dentures can help improve your oral health by filling gaps left by missing teeth, preventing bacteria from accumulating and causing gum disease and other oral health issues.

The Dentures Process

The procedure for getting dentures typically involves several steps. First, our San Diego dentist will take impressions of the patient’s mouth to create a custom mold. The mold will be sent to a dental laboratory, where the dentures will be created. Dr. Bayette may also take measurements of the patient’s jaw to ensure the dentures fit properly.

Once the dentures are created, the patient will return to the dentist for a fitting. The dentist will make any necessary adjustments to ensure that the dentures fit comfortably and securely. The patient will also receive instructions on how to care for their dentures, including how to clean and store them.

Maintaining Your Dentures

Maintaining your dentures is crucial to ensure they last as long as possible and continue to function properly. Here are some tips for maintaining your dentures:

  • cleaning denturesClean them daily: Just like natural teeth, dentures need to be cleaned daily to remove plaque, bacteria, and food debris. Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap or denture cleaner to clean your dentures, and rinse them thoroughly with water.
  • Handle with care: Dentures can be delicate and may break or crack if dropped or mishandled. Always handle your dentures with care, and avoid using hot water or abrasive cleaners that can damage them.
  • Soak overnight: Dentures should be soaked in water or a denture cleaning solution overnight to keep them moist and clean.
  • Visit your dentist regularly: It’s important to have your dentures checked regularly by your dentist to ensure that they still fit and function correctly.
  • Practice good oral hygiene: Even if you have dentures, it’s still important to practice good oral hygiene to keep your mouth healthy. Brush your gums, tongue, and the roof of your mouth with a soft-bristled brush, and rinse your mouth with water after eating.
