At Dentist of Anaheim, we recognize the importance of being able to smile and eat with confidence and without discomfort. Dentures offer a budget-friendly and aesthetically pleasing solution for tooth loss, enabling you to resume your daily activities. We offer full dentures and partial dentures, personalized to provide a natural and comfortable fit that you can wear with ease.
Dentures are dental devices that provide a synthetic set of teeth. They can be removable or permanent, with permanent dentures (known as implant-supported dentures) attached to the jaw with implants. Dentures prevent remaining teeth from shifting, improve speaking and chewing for those with missing teeth, and restore a natural-looking smile.
Dentures are made of a dental appliance with teeth, using acrylic that matches the color and complexion of the gums. The teeth are often made of either plastic or porcelain. Partial dentures are attached to the remaining teeth with a chrome-cobalt framework, while full dentures replace all teeth.
There are numerous benefits of dentures for patients, including some that can be experienced right away.
While dentures are a durable option, they require proper maintenance to keep them in good condition. If you have implant-supported dentures, you may continue to clean your teeth in the same way as before but may need a different type of toothpaste.
For removable dentures, it is important to handle them carefully when removing them. Use a soft hand towel to hold them and cover the sink or fill it with water to prevent them from falling and breaking.
After removing your dentures, brush them gently with a soft-bristled brush, using a denture cleaning solution once a day. You can also soak them in a designated solution overnight. Be sure to use lukewarm or room temperature water, as hot water may alter their shape.
You should be able to maintain most of your regular eating habits with your new dentures. However, it is advisable to avoid biting down on hard foods or candy. Additionally, coffee and smoking may cause staining of your dentures over time.
The decision between full or partial dentures largely depends on the number of missing teeth. If you have only a few missing teeth, partial dentures might be enough. However, if you have lost most or all your teeth, or your remaining teeth are in poor condition, full dentures may be the best option. If you are uncertain which type of denture is best for you, our team at Dentist of Anaheim can evaluate your situation and make recommendations.
