Do dentures look natural?

Modern dentures are designed to closely resemble natural teeth in color, form, and fit so that they can look and feel natural.

How do I clean my dentures?

Brush your dentures daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and denture cleaner in a gentle manner. Wash them properly with water and never use regular toothpaste because it is too harsh.

Can I sleep with my dentures in?

Although practiced, the majority of dentists advise removing dentures when asleep to provide your gums with a small respite and ensure oral tissue health.

What should I do if my dentures break or crack?

If your dentures are damaged, contact your dentist immediately. Avoid using repair kits or glue at home, as improper fixes can worsen the damage.

Types of Dentures

Full Dentures
Also known as complete dentures, they are used when teeth are missing from the entirety of either the upper or lower jaw or the whole mouth. This full set of artificial teeth is attached to a gum-colored base that fits comfortably over the gums.

Upper Full Dentures – Cover the roof of your mouth and are held in place by suction and, sometimes, denture adhesive.
Lower Full Dentures – Shaped to fit around your tongue and held in place by suction, adhesive, and the natural contours of your mouth.

Partial Dentures

These are used when natural teeth are remaining in the upper or lower jaw. They consist of fewer replacement teeth than full dentures but are also attached to a gum-colored base. Connections between parts are held together by a metal framework that holds everything in place.

Removable Partial Dentures – These dentures can be taken out and put back in easily, typically secured by metal clasps that comfortably attach to the natural teeth.
Fixed Partial Dentures – Also known as bridges, these are permanent dental fixtures that attach either to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants.

Hybrid Dentures
Implant-supported dentures are attached to the mouth with dental implants that are anchored into the jawbone like tooth roots. They provide higher stability and comfort among dentures.

Implant-Retained Dentures – Snap onto dental implants for a secure fit but can be removed for cleaning.
Implant-Supported Dentures – Permanently fixed to implants and provide the most natural feel and function, similar to natural teeth.
