Full and Partial Dentures Guide- making people smile again in North Bethesda.

Dentures are a way to restore appearance and function when natural teeth are lost due to tooth decay, facial injury, or gum disease. The replacement of missing teeth allows for normal chewing necessary to consume food and drink as well as providing the physical structure in the mouth needed for normal speech. Dentures also provide support for surrounding facial tissues and a natural smile.

Both full and partial dentures are available as treatment options in our office in North Bethesda. If you've lost, or are losing, all of your teeth a full denture is something to discuss with your cosmetic dentist. If some of your teeth remain and are healthy, a partial denture may be your way to a great smile.

Dentures Hygiene

Modern dental technology has developed personalized dentures that can be as natural-looking as the teeth you were born with. Like natural teeth, it is important to properly care for your dentures by doing the following:

- Daily remove and brush the denture carefully with a brush and toothpaste, both specifically designed for denture cleaning.

- Avoid the use of harsh abrasive cleaners on your denture.

- Avoid cleaning and/or sterilizing your denture in boiling water, or damage to the denture is likely to occur.

- If a partial denture is in place, remove it before brushing the natural teeth.

- Have your teeth professionally cleaned every 6 months by an oral health professional.

Another option for replacing single or multiple teeth is dental implants, or dental bridges.
