Dentures

A denture is a prosthetic device that is commonly used to replace one or more missing teeth in the mouth. When only a few teeth need to be replaced, your dentist will use a partial denture. However, full dentures can be used to replace a full set of teeth.

Why Should You Get a Denture?

If you have missing teeth, the surrounding teeth can shift over time, causing severe misalignment issues. This can cause tension when biting and result in chipping and cracking of the teeth. For this reason, it’s essential to fill any gaps promptly using crowns, implants or dentures to maintain the health of your teeth.

How to Take Care of Your Dentures

When you take the time to properly maintain your dentures, they can last for several years. The best care for dentures involves removing and rinsing them after consuming food. It´s also best to clean your mouth before wearing them. Brushing your dentures gently with a soft bristle brush to prevent staining and soaking them in a cleansing solution for a thorough cleaning overnight will also extend their lifetime.
