What Are the Types of Dentures?

When it comes to pursuing more traditional methods of tooth replacement, there are two options: full or partial dentures. Made from an acrylic base, these restorations are customized according to your smile. If you are missing an entire arch of teeth, you will be recommended for a full lower or upper denture (or both). If you are only missing a few teeth along an arch, you will most likely receive a partial denture.

Full dentures use your natural suction to remain firmly in place, although many patients opt to use a dental adhesive for added security. Partial dentures come with metal clasps or clips that attach to your natural teeth to hold them in place.

No matter which option is right for you, the restorations of today are far better than those created even 20 or 30 years ago. With stronger, more durable materials and natural-looking teeth, you can feel confident and comfortable with your new smile.

Ways to Maintain Dentures and Partials

Unlike implant-retained dentures that are not removable, dentures can easily be taken out and cleaned. It is necessary that you perform regular (daily) maintenance on your restoration to prevent damage, plaque build-up, and other problems from occurring. To ensure the longest lifespan for your dentures, make sure you are:

Placing a towel in the basin of your sink before starting to clean your dentures.
Using a non-abrasive denture cleaner and a soft-bristled toothbrush (or denture brush) to thoroughly clean your dentures and remove built-on plaque and food debris at least twice a day.
Soaking your dentures each night in a special solution. This will not only give your bone and gums a chance to breathe, but it will keep your restoration moist and prevent it from becoming brittle and breaking.
Continuing to brush and floss your natural teeth if you have partial dentures to keep these teeth healthy, strong, and free of decay and disease.
