Partial Dentures Gainesville, FL

Partial denture may also be supported on implants. This could be the case when good teeth are not available to act as supports. In case the denture is supported on one side only on a single implant it will be called. At Smart Smile Dentistry, FL our dental team specializes in providing you with comfortable and very high quality implant retained dentures.

If looked after properly, your dentures can last for many years, implant supported dentures can last even more. However, with passing time conventional dentures will need to have their bases relined. This is because the gum bone and flesh underneath tend to shrink. This makes the denture loose fitting and eating, and speaking become difficult unless the denture is relined. The life a denture can be prolonged by observing a few precautions.

• Dentures are delicate and can break or crack if they fall. Handle them standing over folded (for thickness) towel or a basin filled with water.
• Do not wear cracked, chipped, or broken dentures, and do not try to repair them yourself.
• When you are not wearing them removable dentures must kept soaked in a soaking solution or in plain water. If allowed to dry out they can warp and not fit later.
• Brush them and floss daily to remove food deposits and plaque, and to save them from getting stained. Ultrasonic cleaning is not really as effective as brushing and flossing.
• Must visit your dentist for a checkup regularly. The frequency should be once or twice a year.

Unlike a dental bridge, which is cemented into place, a conventional partial denture is removable. It is held in place with clasps that attach to some of your natural teeth. Partial dentures can also be anchored with precision attachments, which are connected to crowns on surrounding teeth and allow you to snap your prosthesis in place and remove it with ease.

As with full dentures, your best bet for a partial that fits optimally is to wait about eight weeks after extraction so that your gums and jawbone tissues can heal properly and take on their new shape. At that time, one of our Gainesville, FL dentists will obtain a series of impressions of your teeth and jaws and meticulously plan your new dentures. After we have you try on several models so that we can make adjustments to the appearance, shape and position, we will cast your final partial denture.
