Dentures: Care, Cost of Implant
Dentures, and Comprehensive
Maintenance Overview

Dentures, also known as prostheses, are used to replace missing or damaged teeth. They allow individuals to enjoy a balanced diet and a comfortable smile. Dentures can be made from materials such as acrylic (plastic) or metal, and can include options like implant-supported dentures or affordable dentures for enhanced comfort and function

Complete dentures replace the entire arch of missing teeth in either the upper or lower jaw. They rest on the oral cavity gums and replace missing teeth while gaining support from surrounding tissues. Full mouth dental implants or affordable dentures can also provide comprehensive solutions for those needing to replace all their missing teeth.

Yes, it is possible to get a denture immediately after tooth removal. These are known as immediate dentures. You should consult with Dr. Adatrow to determine if you are a suitable candidate for immediate dentures, as certain conditions, such as infection, may prevent their use. It’s always best to let the experts decide the most appropriate treatment for your needs, including options like implant-supported dentures or affordable dentures

Full dentures rest over your gums and replace all your lost or missing teeth. They help you eat comfortably, speak clearly, and enhance your confidence and self-esteem. Partial dentures replace missing teeth while utilizing the support of adjacent teeth and tissues. If you have missing teeth, the adjacent teeth may shift into the gap, leading to an imbalance in your dental arrangement and potentially causing crooked or tilted teeth. This can affect your bite and damage surrounding teeth. To maintain a balanced bite, improve chewing efficiency, and address cosmetic concerns, it is essential to replace missing teeth with affordable dentures, implant-supported dentures, or other dental prostheses.

Immaculate oral hygiene is essential for the health of your gums. Every morning brush your gums and tongue with a soft-bristled brush to promote your gums’ blood circulation and help remove plaque before you insert your denture.

No, other choices to consider are bridges, partial dentures, and dental implants. You can always discuss with Dr. Adatrow regarding your available options to replace your missing teeth.

They can last many years if you handle your dentures properly. However, because of regular wear or an alteration of jaw shape, your prostheses need to be relined or recreated. Crests of bone and gum can decrease with age leading your teeth to meet differently. Loose or ill-fitting dentures can cause pain, including sores and infections, and health problems. A loose or poor-fitting tooth can make it harder to eat and speak. Before they cause problems, it is necessary to replace or adjust poorly fitted dentures.

Maintenance of denture is crucial to prevent any oral infections and bad breath. Adhere to the following instructions to maintain your dentures –

• The denture has to be rinsed with water to remove any food particles. Use a non-abrasive toothpaste and soft bristle toothbrush (to avoid any scratching) to clean the denture.
• Clean your mouth thoroughly during brushing – including your gums, lips, and tongue to clear any plaque.
• Place the dentures in a container filled with water to prevent them from changing shape when you do not wear your dentures.
• Dental wearers may sometimes use adhesives. Adhesives are available in many forms: creams, powders, sheets, strips, and liquids. Please read the instructions and use them exactly as instructed when using one of these items. Dr. Adatrow will prescribe the right denture cleansers or adhesives for you. Our dental team will provide you with all the instructions for your denture maintenance.
