Complete dentures replace all the teeth in the upper or lower arch (or both). They’re used when no natural teeth remain. Partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth and are anchored to remaining natural teeth using clasps or connectors. Both restore function and appearance, but their design depends on your specific dental needs.

How long does it take to adjust to wearing dentures?
It typically takes several weeks to a few months to fully adjust to wearing dentures. You may experience mild soreness or irritation, increased saliva production, and difficulty speaking or eating during this time. Your mouth and muscles adapt with consistent wear and a bit of patience. Regular follow-ups with our team can help fine-tune the fit and ensure comfort as you adjust.

How do I properly clean and maintain my dentures?
To properly clean and maintain your dentures:
- Remove and rinse them after eating.
- Brush daily with a soft-bristle brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner—not regular toothpaste.
- Soak your dentures each night in a denture-cleaning solution to keep them moist and bacteria-free.
- Rinse before wearing again, especially after soaking.
- Daily, clean your mouth—gums, tongue, and remaining teeth.
