What to Know About Dentures and Partials
Full dentures: Complete dentures replace an entire upper or lower arch when no natural teeth remain in that arch.
Partial dentures: A removable partial denture fills spaces when some healthy natural teeth are still present.
Fit and function: Dentures are designed around your mouth and bite, and adjustments may be needed as you get used to wearing them.
Ongoing care: Regular dental visits remain important so we can check your gums, remaining teeth, bite, and the fit of your restoration.
Adjusting to a new denture takes time. Our team will show you how to wear and care for your restoration and can address areas that feel uncomfortable as your mouth adapts.
FAQs
What is the difference between full and partial dentures? Full dentures replace all teeth in an arch. Partial dentures replace some missing teeth while using the remaining natural teeth for support.
How long does it take to get used to dentures? Many patients need some time to adjust to speaking and eating with a new denture. Fit often feels more natural with practice and any needed adjustments.
Can I sleep in my dentures? In many cases, removing dentures at night gives the gums and supporting tissues a chance to rest. We will give you care instructions for your specific restoration.
How should I clean my dentures? Dentures should be cleaned daily with appropriate products and handled carefully. If you have remaining natural teeth, those still need normal brushing and flossing.
