So, you have full or partial dentures replacing your missing teeth. Your smile journey should be over…right?<\/p>\n

In actuality, dentures require just as much care and attention as your natural teeth. Your oral health shouldn’t stop being a priority just because you’ve taken care of your missing teeth. You still have to brush, floss any remaining natural teeth, and visit Fine Dental Care<\/a><\/strong> for routine dental checkups!\u00a0Without this vigilant care, you risk jeopardizing your oral health<\/strong><\/a>!<\/span> Your gums and remaining natural teeth will be more susceptible to problems like infection, enfermedad periodontal<\/a><\/strong>, and decay. Additionally, bacteria and plaque will build up on your dentures, increasing your risk of respiratory infections like pneumonia. However, you can keep your brand-new smile healthy and beautiful with preventative care and vigilant oral health maintenance!<\/p>\n

Understanding Full and Partial Dentures<\/h2>\n

When healthy teeth are still in your mouth, we never want to extracto<\/a><\/strong> them unnecessarily. Partial dentures are a great solution for patients who still have some remaining natural teeth.<\/p>\n

With a partial denture, we can fill all the gaps in your smile with one continuous prosthetic that leaves your natural teeth untouched! The acrylic base of your partial denture fills in the gaps of your smile, with metal or acrylic clips that attach to your remaining teeth for support.<\/p>\n

In contrast, full dentures replace your entire smile, with no natural teeth remaining. These dentures are made of one big base, resembling your gums and securing a full arch of teeth. While your lower denture uses your jawbone for support, your full upper denture relies on saliva and suction on the roof of your mouth for stability.<\/p>\n

Although traditional dentaduras<\/a><\/strong> are generally reliable, they often become loose over time. Fortunately, Fine Dental Care also offers implant-supported dentures that keep your smile secure! Using titanium implantes dentales<\/a><\/strong>, we anchor your prosthetic to your jaw, providing an excellent bite and a natural feel. Like traditional dentures, implant dentures require maintenance and care.<\/p>\n
