Dentures
Missing teeth can impact not only your smile but also your ability to eat, speak, and feel confident. At East Fork Family Dentistry, we specialize in creating high-quality, custom dentures that restore both function and aesthetics to your smile. Whether you require full or partial dentures, our team is committed to providing a solution tailored to your specific needs.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore the natural contours of your mouth. They are custom-made to fit comfortably in your mouth, providing a natural-looking and functional replacement for missing teeth.
There are two main types of dentures:
- Full Dentures: Used when all the teeth in an arch (upper or lower) are missing. Full dentures are designed to fit snugly over your gums, providing a secure and comfortable fit.
- Partial Dentures: Used when some natural teeth remain in the arch. Partial dentures fill the gaps left by missing teeth, and they are anchored to your remaining teeth with clasps.
Caring for Your Dentures
Proper care and maintenance are essential to the longevity of your dentures. Here are a few tips:
- Clean Regularly: Brush your dentures daily with a soft brush to remove food particles and plaque.
- Remove at Night: Take your dentures out at night to give your gums a rest and prevent damage to the dentures.
- Soak Overnight: Place your dentures in a special cleaning solution overnight to help keep them fresh and free from bacteria.
- Regular Checkups: Visit us regularly for checkups to ensure your dentures continue to fit comfortably and perform well.
