Dentures North Wales, PA

Missing teeth can make your cheeks look hollow and your mouth look sunken. More importantly, your diet can suffer. Those missing multiple teeth in a row may want to consider dentures for both cosmetic purposes and overall wellness. Depending on the amount of teeth missing, we may suggest partial or full dentures. During your consultation, we’ll assess all your options and you can choose what you feel most comfortable with.

Partial

Partial dentures are ideal for those who are missing only a few teeth in a row. They latch onto the remaining gum line and any intact adjacent teeth. Even if you only have one tooth on your dental arch, a partial denture may still work best, since the remaining tooth serves as a natural anchor.

Complete

When your dental arch no longer has any teeth, a complete denture is the optimal solution. You can choose the traditional kind that latches to the gum line or choose to have dentures that are anchored by dental implants. The latter option has the best hold, but involves surgery. Dr. Patel can discuss all the details so you can make an informed decision.

Key Benefits:

• Improved oral health and decreased pain from problem teeth

Conventional Dentures (Full Denture)

Conventional dentures, also known as full dentures, are for patients who have lost all healthy tooth structure. These dentures are completely removable, giving you control over when you want to wear them.

Partial Denture

Also known as a removable dental crown, partial dentures bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. The major difference between conventional bridges and partial dentures is the ability to remove partial dentures. You have complete control over when you want to wear them! These dentures are only possible if some healthy tooth structure is salvageable.

Care and Maintenance

Your dentist will provide you with all the at-home care knowledge to ensure that your mouth is healthy, your dentures are comfortable and that they last for a long time. You will need to wear your dentures continuously for the first few weeks in order for your gums to adapt.

FAQ

What are dentures made of?

Dentures are now made up of resin that is molded to fit your mouth comfortably.

How do you clean them?

Run clean water over them to remove any food particles then brush them with a denture brush or a very soft toothbrush using denture cleaner.

Can I use my regular toothbrush/ toothpaste to clean my dentures?

No! Regular toothpaste and electric brushed are to strong and abrasive for your dentures. Over time they will break down your denture material.

Can I sleep with my dentures in?

No, give your gums some time to relax. Take your dentures out while sleeping and keep them submerged in warm water so they don’t dry out and lose their shape.
