Dentures and Partial Dentures Restore Eating and Aesthetics!
Dentures and partial dentures in Foothill Ranch, CA, are a tried-and-true tooth replacement method. They have been around for centuries, and today’s modern prosthetics are a natural and functional option for discerning patients. We also offer All-on-4® implant-supported dentures for a fixed and more stable solution.
If you’re new to dentures or are considering them, you likely have questions about care and upkeep. In this blog, I explore the various denture types and tips for care.
Denture Options to Meet Your Smile Needs
Tooth replacement is an important part of general dentistry because missing teeth cause wear and tear on the remaining teeth.
- Partial Dentures — Partial dentures stand in for incomplete tooth loss. They are customized to fit around your remaining teeth. Clips add extra stability.
- Complete Dentures — Complete dentures work for complete tooth loss, relying on jawbone ridges, gravity, and suction for support.
- All-on-4® Dentures — I can use four to six dental implants to fix an arch or replacement teeth to the jaw, giving you added support.
Tips for Denture Care and Upkeep
- It’s essential to keep your prosthetic clean and free from bacteria. Of course, dentures cannot decay, but they can develop an odor or staining without proper care.
- Be sure to soak your dentures overnight in a denture bath. You can add a disinfecting tablet to the room-temperature water.
- I encourage you to use denture polish and a brush to clean your dentures daily. Periodic rinsing throughout the day is essential.
- If your dentures are too loose and you apply adhesives throughout the day, it may be time to upgrade your prosthetics.
