WHAT ARE PARTIAL DENTURES?
Partial dentures are custom-made dental plates designed to replace missing teeth. Unlike complete dentures, which replace all teeth in a row, partial dentures are ideal for individuals with some natural teeth remaining. These dentures are often crafted from acrylic, metal, or flexible material, ensuring durability, comfort, and a natural look.
WHO NEEDS A PARTIAL DENTURE?
Partial dentures are ideal for individuals who have lost some but not all of their teeth. They are handy for people who:
-
Have multiple missing teeth in a row or spread across different sections of the mouth
-
Want a non-permanent solution to replace lost teeth without committing to dental implants
-
Have healthy remaining natural teeth and are seeking a functional and aesthetic dental solution
-
Experience difficulty chewing or speaking due to gaps in their teeth
-
Prefer a more affordable alternative to implants or bridges
PROCESS OF GETTING PARTIAL DENTURES
The process of receiving partial dentures typically involves several steps, which ensure a precise fit and comfortable outcome. Here's a general overview:
​
-
Consultation and examination: The first step involves thoroughly consulting your denturist. During this appointment, your denturist will assess your oral health, take X-rays, and discuss your needs and preferences.
-
Impressions and measurements: To create a custom partial denture that fits comfortably, your denturist will take impressions of your teeth and gums. These impressions will be used to craft the denture, ensuring it fits well and aligns with your natural bite.
-
Fitting the partial denture: Once your partial denture is ready, you will return to the clinic for a fitting. Your denturist will check and adjust the fit during this appointment to ensure comfort and stability.
-
Final adjustments: After the initial fitting, you may need follow-up visits for minor adjustments to ensure that the partial denture functions correctly and remains comfortable during daily use.
-
Regular maintenance: After your partial dentures are fitted, regular check-ups are necessary to monitor the condition of the appliance and your oral health.
HOW TO TAKE CARE OF PARTIAL DENTURES
Proper care and maintenance of your partial dentures will help prolong their lifespan and keep your smile natural. Here are some essential tips for keeping your partial dentures in optimal condition:
​
-
Clean your partial dentures daily: Use a soft-bristled brush to clean your dentures with mild soap or denture cleanser. Avoid using toothpaste as it can be abrasive and damage the denture material.
-
Soak overnight: When not in use, soak your partial dentures in water or a denture solution to prevent them from drying out and losing their shape.
-
Avoid using hot water: Hot water can warp the material of your dentures, so always clean them with lukewarm water.
-
Maintain your remaining teeth: While partial dentures replace missing teeth, caring for natural teeth is still essential—brush and floss daily to prevent plaque buildup and tooth decay.
-
Visit your denturist regularly: Regular dental check-ups will ensure that your dentures continue to fit well and remain in good condition.
