Types of Dentures

Dentures are a reliable solution for replacing missing teeth and can help improve your ability to speak and chew, as well as enhance your facial structure and smile. At Red Balloon Dentistry, we offer several types of dentures to suit various needs:

  • Complete Dentures: These are used when all the teeth are missing and can be fitted for your upper and lower jaws.

  • Partial Dentures: Ideal for those who still have some of their natural teeth. These dentures fill in the spaces created by missing teeth and prevent other teeth from shifting.

  • Upper/Lower Dentures: Customized to fit either the upper or lower jaw, based on the specific needs of the patient.

Are There Alternatives to Dentures?

Yes, there are alternatives to dentures that might be suitable depending on your dental health and preferences:

  • Dental Implants: A more permanent solution, implants provide the look, feel, and function similar to natural teeth and are surgically anchored into the jawbone.

  • Bridges: Typically used when one or more teeth are missing, bridges are anchored onto neighboring teeth to replace missing teeth.

Basic Denture Care

Proper care is crucial to extend the life of your dentures and keep your mouth healthy. Here are some basic tips for denture care:

  • Daily Cleaning: Just like natural teeth, dentures require daily brushing to remove food particles and plaque

  • Handle with Care: Dentures are delicate and can break if dropped. Always handle them over a towel or a sink filled with water.

  • Soak Overnight: Most types of dentures need to remain moist to keep their shape. Place them in a denture-cleaning solution or water overnight.

  • Regular Check-Ups: Visit our providers regularly to ensure your dentures fit properly and to check for any needed adjustments or repairs.

Denture FAQ

How often should I replace my dentures?

You may experience minor issues when you first get dentures, but these will lessen as you get used to wearing them.
