Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissue. They restore your smile, help you chew and speak more easily, and support your facial structure. Dr. Mannan offers both partial and complete dentures depending on your individual needs.
What is the difference between partial and complete dentures?
Partial dentures
Partial dentures are recommended when you still have some healthy natural teeth remaining. They consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base and are secured with clasps or precision attachments around your existing teeth. Partial dentures fill the gaps in your smile, prevent your remaining teeth from shifting, and improve your ability to chew comfortably.
Complete dentures
Complete dentures replace all the teeth in your upper or lower arch. They rest directly on your gums and are custom-made to fit comfortably and securely. Complete dentures can restore your smile and help you regain full function if all of your teeth are missing.
What are the benefits of dentures?
Dentures can significantly improve your quality of life by:
- Restoring your ability to chew and speak properly
- Improving your facial appearance and smile
- Supporting facial muscles and preventing sagging
- Boosting confidence and overall comfort
What is the process for getting dentures?
Getting dentures usually involves several steps. Dr. Mannan will start with a thorough exam and take impressions of your mouth to create your custom dentures. If any teeth need to be extracted, she will discuss the timing to allow your gums to heal properly.
Once your dentures are ready, you’ll return for a fitting to ensure a natural look and comfortable feel. Dr. Mannan will make any necessary adjustments and provide care instructions to help you maintain your dentures and oral health.
How should I care for my dentures?
Proper care helps extend the life of your dentures. Be sure to:
- Clean your dentures daily with a soft brush and non-abrasive cleaner
- Remove dentures at night to let your gums rest
- Keep dentures moist when not in use
- Visit Dr. Mannan regularly for adjustments and oral exams
