Regain Your Confidence With Dentures
It is important for everyone, including denture wearers, to have a confident and healthy smile. At Dove Family Dentistry, we provide personalized denture services in Bartlett that are designed to meet the specific needs and preferences of each patient. Our aim is to create natural-looking dentures that are both comfortable and functional.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable replacement teeth. There are two main types:
- Full Dentures: Full dentures are used when all natural teeth are missing. They can be either "conventional," fitted after gum tissue has healed, or "immediate," placed immediately after teeth extraction.
- Partial Dentures: Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth are still present. They fill in gaps left by missing teeth and prevent remaining teeth from shifting.
Are Dentures Right for You?

Caring for Your Dentures
Just like natural teeth, dentures require regular maintenance to stay clean and bacteria-free. Here are some useful tips for keeping your dentures in good condition:
- Handle with care: To prevent breakage, handle your dentures over a sink or towel in case they are dropped.
- Brush daily: Clean your dentures daily using a soft-bristled brush and mild cleanser. Avoid harsh toothpastes or household cleaners.
- Keep moist: When not wearing your dentures, soak them overnight in a denture cleaning solution or water to maintain moisture.
- Clean your mouth: Brush your gums and tongue daily to remove bacteria and maintain oral health.
- Regular checkups: Schedule routine dental appointments to ensure your dentures are in good condition and to maintain overall oral health.
What to Expect With Dentures
It may take some time to adjust to new dentures. Initially, you may experience increased saliva, slight discomfort, and difficulties with speaking and eating. These issues usually improve as your mouth gets used to the dentures.
