What are dentures?

Whether you're missing a few teeth or all of them, dentures offer an effective solution to restore your ability to bite, chew, and speak comfortably. These custom-made oral prosthetics are designed to enhance your oral function. With today's advanced technology, dentures are more comfortable, easier to adjust to, and simple to wear. Dr. Trogan offers a variety of denture options to restore not only the functionality of your teeth but also to give you a beautiful, confident smile.

Your options include:

Partial dentures: These are designed to replace a few missing teeth. Partial dentures consist of several replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored plastic base, which is connected to a metal framework that keeps the dentures securely in place. Partial dentures also help prevent your remaining natural teeth from shifting or becoming misaligned.

Complete dentures: These dentures replace all of your teeth. Dr. Trogan offers both immediate and conventional dentures. Immediate dentures replace your natural teeth the same day they are extracted, so you don’t have to go without teeth for any period of time. However, because your gums need time to heal, immediate dentures may not provide the best fit. Conventional dentures, on the other hand, are custom-made to perfectly fit your mouth and are typically placed 8-12 weeks after your extractions are complete.

What are the benefits of dentures?

Your teeth play a vital role in chewing food, speaking clearly, and preserving the shape of your face. When teeth are lost, it can lead to a sunken appearance, impacting both your facial structure and self-confidence.

Dentures can help restore your:

  • Ability to chew
  • Clear speech
  • Facial appearance
  • Aesthetic of your smile
Partial and complete dentures effectively fill the gaps caused by missing teeth, offering crucial support for both your mouth and facial structure.

How do I take care of my dentures?

It is essential to keep your dentures moist at all times to maintain their shape and functionality. If you have removable dentures, always store them in cold water or a soaking solution when not in use. Avoid placing them in hot water, as this can cause warping, damaging their fit and comfort.

For proper maintenance, clean your dentures at least twice a day, just like you would with your natural teeth, to remove bacteria and food particles. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a nonabrasive cleaner to preserve the quality of your dentures. Dr. Trogan can also recommend a specialized deep-cleaning product for regular, thorough cleaning to ensure your dentures remain in top condition.
