About Dentures

Dentures are removable oral prosthetics designed to replace missing teeth and restore oral function. They are custom-made to fit comfortably in your mouth and replicate the natural appearance of teeth and gums. Dentures can be a transformative solution for individuals with partial or complete tooth loss, providing both aesthetic and functional benefits. The Benefits of Dentures at DentGEN

Types of Dentures Offered at DentGEN

Partial Dentures: Partial dentures are recommended for individuals with multiple missing teeth but still have some natural teeth remaining. They are designed to fill in gaps and restore a balanced smile.

Complete Dentures: Complete dentures are ideal for individuals who have lost all their natural teeth in either the upper or lower arch or both. They provide a full set of artificial teeth supported by the gums and underlying bone.

Implant-Supported Dentures: For added stability and functionality, DentGEN offers implant-supported dentures, which are secured in place using dental implants anchored in the jawbone. This option provides a more secure fit and prevents bone loss over time.

Caring for Your Dentures

Proper care and maintenance are essential for keeping your dentures in optimal condition:

Clean your dentures daily with a denture brush and mild denture cleaner.
Remove and rinse dentures after eating to prevent plaque buildup.
Store dentures in a denture soaking solution or water overnight to keep them moist.
Schedule regular dental check-ups at DentGEN for adjustments, cleanings, and oral health evaluations.

FAQ About Dentures

Are Regular Dental Cleanings Necessary?

Yes, regular dental cleanings are necessary. They help remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing can’t reach. This helps prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and other dental issues.

Do I Need to See a Dentist Even If My Teeth Feel Fine?

Yes, it’s important to see a dentist regularly, even if your teeth feel fine. Dentists can detect early signs of dental problems that may not be obvious to you, such as cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer.

What’s a Dental Cleaning Like at Ruby Canyon Dental?

A dental cleaning at Ruby Canyon Dental typically involves removing plaque and tartar from your teeth using specialized tools. The dental hygienist will also polish your teeth and may apply fluoride. It’s a painless procedure that helps keep your teeth and gums healthy.

When Should I Change My Toothbrush?

You should change your toothbrush every 3 to 4 months, or sooner if the bristles are frayed. A worn-out toothbrush is less effective at cleaning your teeth and can harbor bacteria.

How Do I Know If I Have Gum Disease?

Signs of gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis) include red, swollen gums that bleed easily, persistent bad breath, receding gums, and loose teeth. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to see your dentist for evaluation and treatment.
