Full & Partial Dentures
Improve Day-to-Day Living with Full or Partial Dentures
Dentures are removable oral appliances designed to replace missing teeth and the surrounding tissues in your mouth. They can be made from a variety of materials, including acrylic resin, porcelain, or a combination of both. At Fixari Family Dental in Columbus, Ohio, we custom-make dentures to fit your unique oral structure and mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth.
Dentures offer an affordable option for tooth replacement and can greatly improve chewing function, speech ability, appearance, and overall quality of life if you have missing teeth.
Understanding Dentures
Dentures are dental appliances that replace missing teeth to restore oral function and aesthetics. They come in full or partial types, depending on the number of missing teeth and the condition of your remaining natural teeth. Full dentures are used when all teeth are missing, while partial dentures fill gaps between existing teeth. These prosthetic teeth are custom-made to fit comfortably in your mouth, helping you regain chewing function and confidence in your smile.
Types of Dentures Explained
Full and partial dentures are diverse solutions for missing teeth. Full dentures replace an entire set of teeth, ideal for total tooth loss. Partial dentures are for those with some natural teeth remaining, filling gaps seamlessly. This type can be a more affordable option. Both types offer functional benefits, aiding in chewing and speech. Discuss with your dentist at Fixari Family Dental to determine the most suitable option for your oral health needs.
Full Dentures for Complete Solutions
Full dentures offer a comprehensive solution if you are missing multiple missing teeth. Crafted to replace a full set of natural teeth, these dental prosthetics restore chewing function and support facial muscles for a natural appearance. At Fixari Family Dental, we can customize full dentures to fit securely over your gums, enhancing your oral health and overall well-being. We will ensure a comfortable fit, enabling you to regain confidence in your smile.
Partial Dentures for Selective Replacement
Partial dentures offer a customized solution by replacing only specific missing teeth, seamlessly blending with your natural teeth. These affordable options not only restore your chewing function but also maintain the alignment of your remaining teeth. During your dental appointment, the dentist will assess your oral health and craft partial dentures tailored to your needs. By selecting partial dentures, you are making an informed decision to improve both your smile and overall oral health.
The Denture Fitting Process
Throughout the steps involved in making your dentures, we will work closely with you to create a personalized set that restores not just your smile but also your confidence.
Initial Consultation and Customization
During your initial consultation for dentures, we will assess your oral health and discuss your specific needs. This personalized approach ensures the dentures are customized to fit comfortably and function effectively. Impressions and measurements are taken to create a tailored set of dentures, mimicking the appearance of natural teeth. Your input is valuable in this process to achieve the desired look and feel. Customization is key in providing you with dentures that enhance both your smile and chewing function.
Steps Involved in Making Your Dentures
Before your dentures are ready, several essential steps are involved. Initially, your dentist will take precise measurements and impressions of your mouth to ensure a perfect fit. Next, these impressions are sent to a dental lab where skilled technicians will craft your custom dentures. The materials used are durable and natural-looking, mimicking the appearance of real teeth. After a series of fittings and adjustments, your new dentures will be ready for you to enjoy a confident smile and improved chewing function.
Living with Dentures
It’s normal to have worries when transitioning to dentures. Concerns like discomfort, speech changes, or fit issues may arise. To address them, communicate openly with your dentist for adjustments. Proper care routines can prevent potential gum soreness. Adapting to new dentures takes time, patience, and practice for a comfortable fit. Stay positive and seek guidance from your dental care provider. With time, most concerns diminish, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of your new smile.
Adjusting to your new dentures is a rewarding journey. Remember to follow the guidance of your dentist for a smooth transition. Daily maintenance is crucial for longevity, ensuring that your dentures fit comfortably and your oral health remains in good condition. Embrace this new chapter confidently, knowing that you’re taking positive steps towards improved dental health. With proper care and regular check-ups, living with dentures can enhance your quality of life.
Maintenance and Care for Longevity
To ensure the longevity of your full or partial dentures, diligent maintenance and proper care are essential. Regularly clean your dentures with a soft brush and mild cleanser to prevent plaque buildup, maintaining their natural appearance. When not in use, store them in a denture-cleaning solution or water to prevent warping. Additionally, continue to schedule regular check-ups with your dentist at Fixari Family Dental to assess the fit and overall oral health.
