Benefits of Dentures

Improved Appearance and Confidence

Dentures can dramatically enhance your facial appearance by restoring the natural contours of your face and lips. This improvement often leads to increased self-esteem and confidence in social situations. Our custom-made dentures make you feel more comfortable smiling, laughing, and engaging in conversations without worrying about missing teeth. Many of our patients report feeling years younger after getting their new dentures.

Enhanced Eating and Nutrition

One of the most significant benefits of dentures is the ability to enjoy a wider variety of foods. With properly fitted dentures, you can savor your favorite meals again and maintain a balanced diet. This improvement in eating ability can lead to better nutrition and overall health. While it may take some time to adjust to eating with dentures, most patients can comfortably enjoy most foods within a few weeks.

Clearer Speech

Missing teeth can significantly affect your speech, making it difficult to pronounce certain words. Dentures help fill out your mouth, allowing you to speak more clearly and confidently. As you adjust to your new dentures, you’ll notice a marked improvement in your ability to articulate words. This can be particularly beneficial in professional settings or social gatherings where clear communication is essential.

Prevention of Facial Sagging

When teeth are lost, the supporting structures in your face can begin to sag, leading to a prematurely aged appearance. Dentures help maintain facial structure by supporting your cheeks and lips. This can help preserve a youthful appearance and prevent the sunken look often associated with tooth loss. By choosing dentures, you’re not just replacing teeth but investing in maintaining your facial aesthetics.

Customizable and Removable

One significant advantage of dentures is their versatility. At btyDENTAL, we create dentures customized to your specific needs and preferences. Whether you need full or partial dentures, we can design them to match the color of your existing teeth and fit comfortably in your mouth. Additionally, the removable nature of dentures allows for easy cleaning and maintenance, contributing to better oral hygiene and longevity of the appliance.

FAQs About Dentures

We understand you may have questions about dentures. Here are some of the most common inquiries we receive from our patients:

Do you clean dentures after every meal?

While cleaning dentures after every meal is unnecessary, it’s a good practice to rinse them after eating to remove food particles. However, you should thoroughly clean your dentures at least once a day. This helps prevent stains, keeps dentures fresh, and maintains good oral hygiene. We recommend using a soft-bristled brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner for daily cleaning.

What is a partial denture?

A partial denture is a removable appliance that replaces one or more missing teeth when you still have some natural teeth remaining. It consists of replacement teeth attached to a pink or gum-colored plastic base, sometimes connected by a metal framework for added support. Partial dentures not only fill the gaps in your smile but also prevent your remaining teeth from shifting position, maintaining the integrity of your bite.

What are the ingredients used to make dentures?

Modern dentures are typically made from a combination of materials. The base is usually crafted from acrylic resin or nylon polymer for durability and a natural appearance. The artificial teeth are often made from porcelain or acrylic resin, chosen for their strength and ability to mimic natural teeth. btyDENTAL uses high-quality, biocompatible materials to ensure your dentures are safe, comfortable, and long-lasting.

How to clean dentures?

Proper cleaning is essential for maintaining your dentures. Start by rinsing them after meals to remove loose food particles. For daily cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner to brush all surfaces of the dentures gently. Avoid using regular toothpaste, which can be too abrasive. Soak your dentures overnight in a denture-soaking solution to keep them moist and help them retain their shape. Remember to rinse them thoroughly before putting them back in your mouth.

How long can dentures be kept in water?

Dentures should be kept moist when not in your mouth to prevent them from drying out and losing shape. You can safely store them in water or a denture-soaking solution overnight or for short periods during the day. However, if you plan to store your dentures for an extended period (more than a few days), consult with us at btyDENTAL for specific storage recommendations. Prolonged soaking in water alone may lead to the growth of bacteria or fungi, so using a proper denture-soaking solution is often preferable for longer-term storage.
