What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore the function of your mouth. They are typically made from durable materials such as acrylic, porcelain, or metal, which mimic the look and feel of natural teeth. Dentures are ideal for individuals who have lost several or all of their teeth due to age, decay, injury, or other health issues.

There are two main types of dentures:

  • Complete Dentures: These replace all the teeth in a full arch. They are custom-made to fit over the gums and are ideal for patients who have lost all their teeth.
  • Partial Dentures: These are used when some natural teeth remain. Partial dentures fill in the gaps, offering support and preventing the remaining teeth from shifting.

Dentures can enhance both appearance and functionality, allowing you to speak, eat, and smile with ease and confidence.

Signs You Might Need Dentures

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, it may be time to consider dentures:
  • Difficulty Chewing or Eating: Missing teeth can make it challenging to chew food properly, leading to poor digestion or avoidance of certain foods.
  • Loose or Shifting Teeth: When teeth are lost or damaged, remaining teeth can shift out of place, causing discomfort or difficulty with biting and chewing.
  • Pain or Sensitivity: Gaps in your teeth can lead to gum irritation or sensitivity when eating hot or cold foods.
  • Self-Consciousness About Your Smile: Missing teeth can significantly impact your appearance, causing you to feel self-conscious or less confident about your smile
  • Speech Problems: Tooth loss can also affect speech, leading to slurring or difficulty pronouncing words clearly.

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, our team at Clove Dental can help determine if dentures are the right solution for you.

The Denture Procedure

Getting dentures is a multi-step process that begins with an initial consultation and examination. Here's an overview of what to expect:
  1. Consultation and Evaluation: During your first visit, we will evaluate your oral health, discuss your needs, and determine if dentures are the right solution. If dentures are the best option, we will take detailed impressions of your mouth.
  2. Custom Design and Fitting: Our team will design dentures that fit comfortably and look natural. Once the dentures are created, we will ensure they fit properly and make any necessary adjustments for comfort and functionality.
  3. Denture Placement: Once your dentures are ready, we will schedule a fitting appointment. We will ensure the dentures are securely in place, and we will provide instructions on how to care for and maintain them.
  4. Follow-Up Visits: After you receive your dentures, we’ll schedule follow-up visits to check the fit and make any adjustments necessary for optimal comfort.

 

Throughout the process, we will guide you through each step and answer any questions you have to ensure your complete satisfaction.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures

How long do dentures last?
Dentures typically last 5-10 years, depending on how well you care for them and your personal oral health. Over time, your mouth may change, requiring adjustments or replacement.

Yes, dentures are custom-designed to fit your mouth, but it may take some time to adjust to the new feel. If there is any discomfort, we can make adjustments to ensure a better fit.
How do I care for my dentures?
Caring for your dentures involves cleaning them daily with a soft brush and denture cleaner, removing them at night to give your gums a break, and storing them in water or a denture solution to prevent damage.
