Dentures & Partial Dentures

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are custom-made, removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore the functionality of your mouth. They are crafted to look and feel as natural as possible, ensuring you can go about your day confidently. Dentures are made from durable materials like acrylic and resin, designed for long-lasting use while imitating the appearance of natural teeth and gums.

Whether you’ve lost teeth due to aging, injury, or disease, dentures can provide a comfortable and natural-looking solution to improve your overall oral health and quality of life.

How Do Dentures Work?

Dentures are designed to fit snugly onto the gums or over existing teeth in the case of partial dentures. We’re dedicated to creating dentures that provide a comfortable fit and a secure hold, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and feel confident in your smile. Full dentures cover the entire upper or lower arch, while partial dentures use a metal or acrylic framework to anchor to the remaining natural teeth, filling in the gaps seamlessly.

Getting Fitted for Dentures

At Allred Family Dentistry, the fitting process is customized and precise to ensure your new dentures feel comfortable and natural. During your initial appointment, we will take detailed impressions of your mouth using advanced tools like our iTero Digital Scanner for accurate imaging and measurements. Using this digital technology, we are able to create a design tailored specifically to the shape and size of your mouth, guaranteeing optimal fit and functionality.

Once your dentures are ready, Dr. Marc Allred will carefully check the fit and make any necessary adjustments to ensure they’re perfect for you. Our team is here to answer your questions and teach you how to use and care for your new dental appliances.

Caring for Your Dentures

Proper care can significantly extend the lifespan of your dentures and keep your mouth healthy. Here are a few tips to make them last:

Clean them daily using a soft-bristle brush and recommended denture cleaner.
Remove them at night to give your gums a rest, and soak them in a solution to keep them moist.
Avoid abrasive materials like stiff brushes or harsh cleaners that could scratch the surface.
Visit your dentist regularly for checkups to ensure your dentures are maintaining their fit and condition.

By following these steps, you can maintain the look and functionality of your dentures for years to come.

The Difference Between Full Dentures & Partial Dentures

When it comes to dentures, there are two primary options depending on your specific dental needs: full dentures and partial dentures.

Full Dentures: Best suited for individuals who are missing all teeth in either the upper or lower jaw (or both), full dentures replace the entire arch of teeth. These secure and natural-looking prosthetics allow you to regain complete oral functionality.
Partial Dentures: For those who are missing only a few teeth, partial dentures are the ideal solution. They seamlessly fill in the gaps where teeth are missing by using a framework that attaches to your existing teeth. This option helps preserve your remaining natural teeth and prevents them from shifting out of alignment.

Dr. Marc Allred and the dedicated team at Allred Family Dentistry will work closely with you to determine which option best suits your unique needs, ensuring you receive the best possible results.
