Partials & Full Dentures in Houston, TX
When you lose teeth, whether from disease, trauma, or decay, the spaces left in the mouth create difficulties in chewing, biting, and speaking. Your facial structure also begins to suffer as it changes due to muscle sugging. The teeth in the mouth help maintain the shape of your face; without them, you will have an unattractive, old-looking face.
At Houstonian Dental, we provide various solutions for teeth placements, including dentures. We fit full and partial dentures in Houston to improve the patient’s bite function and look. Our Houston dentists engage you fully in the conversation of crafting and fitting partials & full dentures near you.
Full Dentures
These are custom-made removable artificial teeth used to replace lost teeth. To get full dentures, you must have lost the entire lower or upper teeth row, or the ones left need to be pulled out.
If extraction has to be done, our dentist allows a healing time before the placement of dentures. Full dentures are fabricated from acrylic, a flesh-colored plastic, to give a real-looking bite. The dentures are molded so they rest snugly and smoothly on the gums.
Partial Dentures
These are suited for patients who have healthy, strong teeth but have lost some of their teeth. Partials come in a plate comprising one or several artificial teeth attached. The same material for full dentures is used for partials. These dentures fit perfectly within the bottom or top half of the mouth, where they replace the missing teeth.
Taking Care of Dentures
You must remove, soak, and brush dentures at night before bed. Bacteria, leftovers, and plaque biofilm can accumulate and get trapped in dentures, contributing to oral problems. Cleaning the dentures ensures that you remove these elements.
After eating, please take out the dentures and clean them too. Run water over them to wash away food particles and debris, and avoid abrasive cleaning materials or hot water. See a dentist near you if they become loose.
