What Are the Types of Dentures?
Made from an acrylic base, these restorations are customized according to your smile and come in partial and full varieties. If you are missing an entire arch of teeth, you will be recommended for a full lower or upper denture (or both). If you are only missing a few teeth along an arch, you will most likely receive a partial denture.
Full dentures use your natural suction to remain firmly in place, although many patients opt to use a dental adhesive for added security. Partial dentures come with metal clasps or clips that attach to your natural teeth to hold them in place.
What Are the Benefits?
When meeting with your dentist in Powell to discuss the possibility of dentures, you will likely hear about the many benefits they offer to patients these days. Some of these include:
- The ability to withstand daily wear and tear and last anywhere from 5-10 years
- Improved self-esteem, allowing you to feel comfortable around family, friends, and peers
- An affordable solution that is most often covered by dental insurance companies
- A removable solution that makes it easier to clean
- The ability to speak more clearly
- A fuller, more youthful appearance
- The ability to chew food more easily
Ways to Maintain Dentures and Partials
Dentures can easily be taken out and cleaned. You must perform regular (daily) maintenance on your restoration to prevent damage, plaque build-up, and other problems from occurring. To ensure the longest lifespan for your dentures, make sure you are:
- Placing a towel in the basin of your sink before starting to clean your dentures.
- Using a non-abrasive denture cleaner and a soft-bristled toothbrush (or denture brush) to thoroughly clean your dentures and remove built-up plaque and food debris at least twice a day.
- Soaking your dentures each night in a special solution. This will not only give your bone and gums a chance to breathe, but it will keep your restoration moist and prevent it from becoming brittle and breaking.
- Continuing to brush and floss your natural teeth if you have partial dentures to keep these teeth healthy, strong, and free of decay and disease.
