Dentures are a popular dental solution for people who have lost all or some of their natural teeth. They are removable prosthetic devices that can replace missing teeth and provide a functional and aesthetically pleasing smile. In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about dentures, including types of dentures, the process of getting dentures, and how to repair them.  

There are two main types of dentures: complete dentures and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used to replace all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures are used to replace only a few missing teeth. The type of denture you need depends on the number of missing teeth you have and your dental health.

Complete Dentures: Complete dentures are used to replace all the teeth in either the upper or lower jaw. They are custom-made to fit your mouth and are typically made from acrylic resin or a combination of acrylic resin and metal.

Partial Dentures: Partial dentures are used to replace only a few missing teeth. They are designed to fit in with your natural teeth and can be attached to your remaining teeth using clasps or dental implants.

The process of getting dentures typically involves several steps, including:

Dental Exam: We will examine your mouth to determine the best type of denture for your needs and take impressions of your mouth to create a model.

Denture Selection: You will work with your Inspire Dental Wellness to select the best type of denture for your needs and choose the material, shape, and color.

Fitting: Inspire Dental Wellness will fit the denture to your mouth to ensure a comfortable fit and make any necessary adjustments.

Adjustments: After wearing your dentures for a few days, you may need to have them adjusted for a better fit. Inspire Dental Wellness will make any necessary changes to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.

Over time, dentures can become worn or damaged, and may need to be repaired. Some common issues that may require denture repair include:
