Partial & Full Dentures FAQ's

Partial dentures are removable dental prostheses used to replace one or more missing teeth in a dental arch. They consist of artificial teeth attached to a metal or acrylic framework that clasps onto adjacent natural teeth for support.

Full dentures, also known as complete dentures, are removable dental prostheses used to replace all of the teeth in a dental arch. They consist of artificial teeth set into a flesh-colored acrylic base that rests directly on the gums and underlying bone.

Partial dentures are designed to stay in place through a combination of clasps that grip onto adjacent natural teeth and the underlying soft tissues in the mouth. The clasps provide stability and retention, allowing the partial denture to function properly during chewing and speaking.

Full dentures rely on suction and muscle control to stay in place. The natural contours of the gums and underlying bone, along with the saliva in the mouth, create a suction effect that helps hold the denture in place. Additionally, the muscles of the cheeks and tongue assist in stabilizing the denture during speaking and chewing.

The lifespan of dentures can vary depending on factors such as oral hygiene, diet, and general wear and tear. On average, dentures may need to be replaced every 5 to 10 years to maintain proper fit and function. Over time, changes in the shape of the jawbone and gums may require adjustments or relining of the dentures to ensure a comfortable fit.
