Partial Dentures in Irving, TX
A partial denture is a removable appliance used to replace missing teeth. It has attachments to your natural teeth to hold it in place while eating and speaking. The partial comes out of your mouth for cleaning, and for you to clean your natural teeth.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long can you leave partial dentures in?
As a general guideline, it is recommended to wear your dentures for a minimum of 8 hours daily. This allows your jawbone and gums to acclimate to the dentures and reduces the likelihood of developing sore spots. To provide your gums with a period of rest and relaxation, it’s advisable to remove the dentures at night.
What is the advice on partial dentures?
Avoid using boiling or excessively hot water, as it can lead to warping and alterations in the fit of your partial. It’s best to brush your partial daily with a soft toothbrush or a denture brush, using denture paste. Regular toothpaste is too abrasive and may result in scratches on the acrylic material.
Are partial dentures comfortable to wear?
Partial dentures can become comfortable over time with continued use. Yet, initially, patients may experience a period of discomfort as they adapt to wearing them daily.
