Frequently Asked Questions
Full dentures replace all teeth in an arch, while partial dentures replace several missing teeth and attach around the remaining natural teeth for support.
Most dentures last five to ten years. Relines may be needed sooner as gums change.
Dental implants act like anchors in the jawbone. The denture connects to these anchors, which reduces movement and can improve chewing efficiency.
Brush daily with a soft denture brush and nonabrasive cleanser, rinse after meals, and soak overnight.
