Dentures are an effective solution for individuals who have experienced tooth loss. These custom-made dental appliances are designed to restore both function and appearance, allowing patients to speak, eat and smile with confidence. At Carson Dental, our dentist and team offer dentures to help you regain your smile and improve your oral health.
Types of Dentures
There are two primary types of dentures available: full dentures and partial dentures. Full dentures are used when all teeth are missing in either the upper or lower arch, while partial dentures are recommended when some natural teeth remain. Our dentist and team will assess your needs to determine the best option for your specific case.
Dentures are crafted from durable materials that mimic the appearance of natural teeth, ensuring a natural and lifelike smile. With proper care and maintenance, dentures can provide years of reliable use.
Benefits of Dentures
Dentures offer several benefits for patients with missing teeth, including:
- Restored ability to eat and chew properly.
- Improved speech and confidence in social settings.
- Prevention of facial sagging caused by tooth loss.
- Enhanced aesthetics and a natural-looking smile.
- A removable and easy-to-clean option for tooth replacement.
We will work with you to ensure your dentures are comfortable and fit securely, providing a seamless experience in your day-to-day life.
Caring for Your Dentures
Proper care is essential to maintain the quality and longevity of your dentures. Regular cleaning and soaking are important to remove bacteria and food particles. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the material. Additionally, routine checkups with Dr. Mina Abraham will help ensure your dentures remain in optimal condition.
