What are the denture options available?
Dentures are removable solutions for individuals with one or more missing or failing teeth. They are an excellent solution when teeth are lost due to injury, decay, poor genetics, or gum disease.
Common denture options include:
- Complete dentures: A full set of prosthetic teeth that sit on top of your gums. Full dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth in the upper, lower jaw, or both. The upper dentures sit on the roof of the mouth and are secured by natural suction. The lower dentures are horseshoe-shaped to accommodate the tongue. Lower dentures are secured by adhesives.
- Partials: You don’t need complete dentures when replacing a few missing teeth. Removable partials fit into the toothless space and are clasped to the nearby teeth with a removable metal framework. Partials are an affordable alternative to dental bridges because they don’t use dental crowns.
All denture types are customized. This personalization ensures dentures look natural and fit comfortably. Unlike the dentures of yesteryear, modern dentures replace your teeth without compromising your aesthetics, comfort, and function.

How do I maintain my dentures?
Taking care of your dentures keeps them looking great and lasting longer. Here are a few tips for caring for your dentures.
- Clean them daily: Use a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive detergent to clean your dentures at least twice daily. Avoid toothpaste as it may contain abrasive ingredients that may damage your restorations. Cleaning your dentures removes surface stains, plaque, and food particles. Also, rinse your dentures after eating to eliminate harmful bacteria and food debris.
- Soak overnight: Keep them in water or a denture solution to prevent drying out. Also, remove your dentures when sleeping to avoid gum irritation and infections.Â
- Handle with care: Dentures can break, so avoid dropping them. Also, keep them away from your pets to prevent accidental loss or damage.Â
- Visit your dentist regularly: Visit your dentist every six months for routine check-ups. Sometimes, the dentist may make a few adjustments to ensure your dentures fit well and remain in good shape.
