Partial Dentures Norcross, GA
Partial dentures are an excellent solution if you are missing some teeth but still have healthy natural teeth remaining. These custom-made appliances fill the gaps in your smile, restore your ability to chew and speak properly and help maintain your facial structure by supporting your cheeks and lips. Without this support, missing teeth can cause your facial contours to sag over time, which can lead to a sunken appearance.
Each partial denture is designed to fit comfortably in your mouth, with replacement teeth embedded in a durable acrylic base. To ensure stability, the denture features a lightweight metal framework or clasps that attach to your natural teeth. While it may take a little time to adjust to wearing your partial, it should feel more comfortable with regular use. With time, speaking and eating will also become more natural, allowing you to return to your daily routine with confidence.
It is essential to follow all care instructions provided by Dr. Daniel Vincent , Dr. Denise Ceron and our team to maintain your partial denture in excellent condition. Cleaning your denture daily will help prevent plaque buildup and maintain both the appliance and your oral health. Avoid using abrasive toothpaste, as it can scratch the denture surface, and make sure to rinse the denture thoroughly after eating.
Be mindful not to force your denture into place by biting down. This can damage the clasps, bend the metal framework or harm your natural teeth. If you ever notice your partial denture feeling loose or uncomfortable, contact Vincent Dental promptly for adjustments. Periodic checkups are also essential to ensure your denture continues to fit well and functions properly as your mouth naturally changes over time.
