If you have experienced tooth loss, you know how it can affect your self-confidence. You might not like to smile anymore, and you may avoid social situations altogether. The fact is that millions of Americans are missing teeth; the good news is that with dentures and partials from Carewell Dental, you don’t have to be one of them. Today’s dentures and partials combine aesthetics and function to give you back your life and your smile.

What Are Dentures and Partials?dentures rutland

Dentures is the term used for a removable replacement set of teeth. Depending on your dental situation and how many teeth you’re missing, you may be a candidate for either full or partial dentures.  Dentures are prosthetic teeth and gums that are fitted over your natural gums; initially, they may feel strange in your mouth, but over time, you will begin to feel more comfortable with them and be able to eat and speak properly.

Types of Dentures from Carewell Dental in Rutland

In our dental office, we can offer you the following types of dentures and partials:

Conventional full dentures – If you are missing all of your teeth, or if your teeth have to be removed, we can fit you with a full set of dentures. If your teeth must be removed, we will need to wait until your gums and jaw heal before placing your new dentures.

Immediate full dentures – Before removing your teeth, we can measure and fit you for your new dentures. This way, we can immediately place your dentures once your teeth are removed. With immediate full dentures, you will need to have them fitted after your gums and jaw heal because your jaw shape may change slightly as it heals.

Partial dentures – If you are only missing some teeth, we can create a partial denture to complete your smile. Partial dentures are similar to a dental bridge, but unlike a bridge, they are removable.

It’s important that you take good care of your dentures; we recommend that you create a routine that follows these guidelines to help them last as long as possible:

  • Remove your dentures after you eat, and rinse them off to remove any food particles.
  • While your dentures are out, clean your mouth as well. Use a soft toothbrush so you don’t injure your gums.
  • Brush your dentures each day to keep them free from plaque.
  • Use a mild denture cleaning solution to soak your dentures overnight. Soak. This will help them stay soft and keep their shape.
  • Make regular visits to our dental office for checkups.
