Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are ideal when some natural teeth remain. Similar to a bridge, they fill the gaps left by missing teeth but are removable, offering flexibility and ease of cleaning.

Getting Used to Dentures
Adapting to new dentures takes time. Initially, the denture base may feel bulky, and your tongue might feel restricted. Some looseness is normal at first, which can affect your speech and ability to eat. However, as your mouth adjusts, dentures will begin to feel more natural. While they may never replicate the exact feel of natural teeth, they offer a much-improved alternative to living without teeth.

Denture Care Tips
Even though dentures aren’t natural teeth, they still need regular care. Brush them daily to remove plaque and food particles, and rinse them before and after wearing. When not in use, store them in room temperature water or a denture-cleaning solution—avoid hot water, which can cause warping. Handle your dentures carefully, and never attempt to make adjustments on your own. If they feel uncomfortable or become loose, visit your dentist for professional adjustments to avoid damage.
