What are my options for custom dentures?
Partial Dentures — Partial dentures are an excellent option for replacing a few missing teeth while preserving your remaining natural ones. They are custom-made to fit comfortably and securely in your mouth, using metal or acrylic frameworks to stay in place, and help prevent remaining teeth from shifting.
Full Dentures — Full dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth, either on the upper or lower jaw. They are carefully crafted to fit your gums and provide a natural appearance. Full dentures help restore oral function, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
Implant-Supported Dentures — Implant-supported dentures combine the stability of dental implants with the convenience of dentures. They are anchored to implants placed in the jawbone, offering a secure fit without slipping or using adhesive.
How long do dentures last?
Dentures typically last 5-10 years with proper care. Over time, changes in your mouth’s shape may cause them to fit less securely, requiring adjustments or replacements. Routine dental checkups help ensure your dentures will remain functional and comfortable for as long as possible. Regular cleaning and good oral hygiene can also extend their lifespan and help maintain their appearance.
How do traditional dentures stay in place?
Traditional dentures stay in place by fitting snugly over your gums and using suction to adhere to the tissues. In some cases, dental adhesive may be used for added security. The custom-fit design ensures they stay secure during daily activities like speaking and eating, although occasional adjustments may be necessary for optimal comfort.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Yes, you can eat normally with dentures, but it may take some time to adjust. Start with soft foods and gradually reintroduce harder or stickier items as you gain confidence. Chewing on both sides of your mouth evenly helps keep the dentures stable. With practice, most people can enjoy a wide variety of foods comfortably.
