Complete/Full and Partial Dentures: Which One do You Need?

Dentures come in two main types: complete/full and partial. Which type of denture is best for you depends on your condition. If all of your teeth need to be replaced, complete/full dentures are necessary. But if only several teeth are missing and nearby teeth remain intact, partial dentures are enough.

Immediate full dentures, on the other hand, are placed in your mouth as soon as your teeth are extracted. You’ll be wearing them for the first few months after extraction, so you’ll have teeth during the healing period and while waiting for your conventional full dentures.

Living With and Caring for Dentures: How to do it?

• Having new dentures may feel uncomfortable at first, and it may take you some time to get used to them. You may experience that bulky and loose feeling in your mouth. And that’s normal. There might also be excessive saliva flow and minor irritation. But if the irritation persists, don’t hesitate to contact us.
• It’s also a good idea to rinse your dentures before brushing to remove any loose food. And when you’re not wearing them, it’s best to soak them in plain water or a denture cleanser soaking solution so that they don’t warp and dry out.

• Properly cared for and well-maintained dentures can last up to a decade. And to extend the life of your dentures, don’t sleep in your dentures, avoid applying any whitening products, and don’t attempt to fix and repair broken dentures yourself, as doing so can further damage them. If your dentures break, call us immediately.
