Understanding Dentures
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissue. Dr. Zach Scearce answers some commonly asked questions about dentures:
What are the different types of dentures available?
There are two primary types of dentures:
- Complete Dentures: These are used when all teeth in an arch are missing. They replace a full upper or lower set of teeth.
- Partial Dentures: Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. They fill gaps and help maintain proper oral function.
How are dentures custom-made for patients?
Dentures are custom-made to fit each patient’s mouth. This process involves impressions and measurements to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. Our team works closely with patients to select the shape, size, and color of the denture teeth to achieve a natural appearance.
Do dentures require any special care?
Yes, dentures should be cleaned daily to remove food particles and prevent plaque buildup. They should also be stored properly when not in use. Regular dental check-ups are essential to ensure the dentures fit well and to address any necessary adjustments.
Can dentures be supported by dental implants?
Absolutely. Dental implants can significantly enhance the stability and functionality of dentures. Implant-supported dentures provide a more secure fit, preventing slippage and improving chewing efficiency.
