What Are Dentures?

What Are the Different Types of Dentures?

If you're looking into dentures for the first time, you may be overwhelmed by the different types available. To make it simpler to understand, you should know that there are two basic categories of dentures:  full and partial. The type you get will depend on your specific needs, the amount of remaining teeth you have, and your overall oral health. 

  • Full Dentures

    Full dentures are the type with which most people are already familiar. They replace an entire arch of teeth (your upper or lower teeth), which means they are designed for people who are missing most or all of their natural teeth. Traditional full dentures are held in place by suctioning to your gums, though some people also use adhesives to ensure the dentures do not slip out of place while eating or doing physical activities. If you still have one or two remaining natural teeth, these may need to be extracted before you can get your full dentures. Full dentures are a great solution if the supporting bone (either your upper or lower jawbone) is strong and healthy. 

  • Partial Dentures

    Unlike full dentures, a partial denture is used when you are only missing some of your teeth in a row. They are made to fit between your natural teeth and match the color, shape and size of the surrounding teeth so they blend in with your smile. A partial denture will usually be held in place using metal clasps that attach to the surrounding natural teeth which ensures the denture stays secure while you are eating or speaking. 

How Long Will My Full or Partial Dentures Last?

Dentures are a great solution for tooth loss, but they are not meant to last forever. The average lifespan of full and partial dentures is about five to ten years, depending on the specific materials used to make your dentures. Of course, how long your full or partial dentures will last also depends on how well you take care of them, which is why it's important to follow your dentist's directions and schedule routine dental checkups.

Read Some of Our Patients Reviews

"My son-in-law recently needed to schedule a dental appointment fairly quickly but his dentist wasn’t available. So he decided to try the “new dentist” conveniently located near his home. He was so impressed with Dr. Alexander and her staff that I scheduled an appointment a couple of weeks later. To say I was impressed would be an understatement! Clean, efficient, compassionate, professional are just a few adjectives describing Dr. Alexander and the Core Dentistry office and staff. I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for dental care in the Fort Mill/Rock Hill area!"

-Carol O.

How Do I Care for My New Dentures?

Caring for your dentures is important to ensure they last as long as possible. Our team will give you all the information you need to help you take proper care of your new full or partial dentures. In general, you should follow these tips to keep your dentures in good condition: 

  • Learn How

    • Rinse your dentures after each meal with cool water and a mild soap. Avoid using hot water, which can warp the shape of your dentures.
    • Never try to adjust or fix your dentures yourself. Always consult with our dentist if you think there are any problems with the fit of your denture. 
    • Store your dentures in a safe place when you're not wearing them, such as a cup of water or a container filled with moistened gauze pads. This will help keep them from drying out and losing their shape. 
    • Brush your gums, tongue, and palate every morning with a soft-bristled toothbrush before you put your dentures in. This will help stimulate blood flow to the tissues and remove plaque buildup. 
    • If you have remaining teeth, make sure you continue to brush and floss to keep them healthy.
    • Schedule regular dental checkups so our dentist can examine both your dentures and natural teeth to ensure they are healthy and functioning properly.
