denture solutions for missing teeth in Hampden County

Agawam & Feeding Hills, MA's tooth replacement professionals

Partial dentures are a popular and effective option for people who have lost some of their teeth, but not all of them. In order to determine whether partial dentures are your ideal solution, it’s important to understand the basics of partial dentures, including what they are, signs that indicate they might be right for you, and how to take care of them to ensure they last as long as possible. All partial and full dentures in our office are made by skilled technicians in the USA using the finest available materials.

What Are Partial Dentures?

Partial dentures are dental prosthetics that are specifically designed to replace missing teeth. They consist of a gum-colored base made from metal, acrylic, or a flexible material, which supports artificial teeth that are made to resemble your natural teeth. These prosthetics are custom-made for each patient, ensuring a comfortable fit and a natural-looking smile.

There are two main types of partial dentures: removable and fixed. Removable partial dentures can be taken out and put back in as needed, making them easy to clean and maintain. Fixed partial dentures, also known as dental bridges, are permanently attached to your remaining teeth or dental implants, providing a stable and secure solution.

ARE Partial Dentures Right For Me?

If you're considering partial dentures, it's essential to evaluate whether they're the right choice for your dental needs. Although a consultation with our professionals will help you make this decision more confidently, here are a few signs that partial dentures might be the best option for you:

You have multiple missing teeth. Partial dentures are ideal for those who have lost several teeth, but not all of them. They can help restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently.

You're looking for a more affordable option. Compared to dental implants or full dentures, partial dentures are often more cost-effective, making them an attractive choice for those on a budget.

You desire a removable solution. If you prefer the convenience of being able to remove your dental prosthetic for cleaning or when you sleep, removable partial dentures might be the perfect fit for you.

Taking Care of Partial Dentures

To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your partial dentures, it's crucial to take proper care of them. Here are some essential tips for maintaining your partial dentures:

Clean them daily. Just like your natural teeth, partial dentures need to be cleaned daily to remove food particles and plaque. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a denture cleaner specifically designed for partial dentures. Avoid using toothpaste on your dentures, as it can be too abrasive for the delicate materials.

Handle with care. When removing or inserting your partial dentures, be gentle to avoid damaging the clasps or the artificial teeth. Make sure to hold them over a soft surface or a sink filled with water to prevent damage if dropped accidentally.

Soak them overnight. Removable partial dentures should be soaked in a denture-cleaning solution or water overnight to prevent them from drying out and losing their shape.

Maintain regular dental checkups. It's essential to keep all of your scheduled appointments to regularly monitor the fit and condition of your partial dentures. We can make adjustments as needed and address any potential issues early on.
