How Full & Partial Dentures Can Restore Your Confidence

If you're missing one or more teeth, at Oviedo Dental Arts in Oviedo, we know that full and partial dentures can be a great way to restore your chewing ability, speaking and smiling confidence, and more.

What's the difference between full and partial dentures?

Full dentures replace all of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures fill in gaps left by one or more missing teeth.

How are dentures made?

The process begins with our team taking detailed impressions and measurements of your teeth, gums, and mouth, which we'll use to create a prototype of your denture. We'll ensure that the fit and appearance of the denture(s) are just right before sending it off to be custom crafted by our lab professionals.

Once your denture has been created, we'll ask you to return to our office to ensure that your denture(s) fit well, look great, and that you're comfortable wearing them.

What benefits are associated with wearing dentures?

Dentures can offer a number of benefits, including:

• restoring chewing ability
• boosting confidence
• allowing patients to eat the foods they love again
• providing support for the lips and cheeks
• improved speech clarity.

How should dentures be cared for?

It's important to keep your dentures clean by brushing them daily with a soft-bristled brush and non-abrasive cleanser. You should also rinse them after each meal to remove food particles. Be sure to soak your dentures overnight in water or a mild denture-soaking solution.

It's also important to visit us regularly, even with dentures. In addition to monitoring your mouth for any oral health issues, we'll also check the fit of your dentures as your mouth changes over time.
