Dentures

If you are missing many teeth, or have a number of damaged teeth, then dentures or partial dentures may be a solution. Gum disease, tooth decay, or even injury, can result in tooth loss. While prevention can help ward off all of these potential issues, sometimes tooth loss is unavoidable. Dentures will help to replace your missing teeth and restore your smile, giving you back the freedom to enjoy life.

Dentures are a removable prosthetic that can be taken out of the mouth to sleep and clean. Dentures will fit on any remaining teeth, and sit upon the gums and underlying jaw bone. If there are no remaining teeth, our dentists may recommend dental implants. Dental implants will secure the dentures leading to a better fit and minimal to no sliding during use.

Dentures should be removed overnight for a couple of reasons. The gums and tissue need a chance to rest and recover after daily wear. It is recommended that you take your dentures out for around 6 hours each day. Removing your dentures at night is also a good opportunity to clean and care for them. Proper care of your dentures will not only allow them to last longer, but also gives you the chance to clean them of any bacteria or build up that might accumulate throughout the day. This will lead to an overall healthier mouth and body.
