Our team in Plainville, CT, led by Dr. Khan, is here to guide you through this journey, serving patients from Bristol, New Britain, and surrounding areas.
Understanding Complete and Partial Dentures
What Are Complete Dentures?
Complete dentures, also known as full dentures, are designed for individuals who need to replace all teeth in either the upper or lower jaw, or both. These dentures sit on the gums and provide a new set of teeth crafted to look natural and fit comfortably in your mouth. At IKON Dental Group, we ensure that every complete denture is tailored to fit each patient’s unique mouth structure, whether you’re from Plainville, Bristol, or New Britain.
What Are Partial Dentures?
Partial dentures are ideal for patients missing one or more teeth but still have some healthy natural teeth remaining. Anchored onto the existing teeth, partial dentures not only fill in the gaps but also prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of place. This solution is a less invasive option than dental implants and offers a comfortable fit while restoring your smile’s aesthetics.
The Denture Crafting Process
Crafting dentures is an art that combines precision and attention to detail. When you visit IKON Dental Group in Plainville, CT, our expert team will take detailed impressions of your mouth. These impressions help us create dentures that match your mouth’s contours for optimum comfort and appearance. The process typically involves several appointments to ensure the perfect fit.
Adjustment Period and Care Techniques
Getting Used to New Dentures
It’s normal to experience a brief adjustment period after receiving your dentures. During this time, you might find speaking or eating slightly unusual, but don’t worry! Practice makes perfect. Our team is always here to provide tips and advice to help you adjust, ensuring that your dentures feel like a natural part of you in no time.
Caring for Your Dentures
Proper care of dentures is essential to maintain their functionality and longevity. Remember to clean them daily with a soft-bristle brush and non-abrasive cleaner. When not in use, store them in a safe, clean water container to prevent warping. Don’t forget to maintain regular check-ups at IKON Dental Group, where we can assess their fit and address any concerns.
Benefits of Dentures
Improved Appearance and Confidence
Dentures can significantly enhance your appearance by restoring your smile and preventing facial muscles from sagging.
Enhanced Oral Function
Both complete and partial dentures can improve your ability to speak and chew. This means you can enjoy a wider variety of foods and communicate more clearly, enhancing your overall quality of life.
Cost-Effective Solution
Partial dentures, in particular, offer a cost-effective solution for replacing missing teeth. This makes them an accessible option for many patients in the Plainville, Bristol, and New Britain areas.
