Complete and Partial Dentures
Complete and Partial Dentures
At **Dr. Gulshan's Dental Clinic**, we provide custom-fit **complete** and **partial dentures** to help you regain your smile, chewing ability, and confidence.
**Complete Dentures** are removable appliances designed to replace all missing teeth in the upper and/or lower jaw. They are custom-made to fit comfortably over your gums.
**Partial Dentures** are used when some natural teeth still remain. These removable appliances fill the gaps created by missing teeth with artificial teeth attached to a gum-colored base, often with clasps that attach to your existing natural teeth.
Common Causes for Denture Need
Dentures become a necessary solution for various reasons, including:
- Extensive tooth loss due to aging, severe decay, or advanced gum disease.
- Trauma or injury resulting in multiple tooth extractions.
- Congenital absence of permanent teeth.
- Advanced wear and tear on teeth, often from habits like grinding (bruxism), leading to tooth loss.
Symptoms Indicating You May Need Dentures
If you experience any of these symptoms, it might be time to consider a consultation for dentures:
- Significant difficulty chewing food or speaking clearly.
- A sunken facial appearance, which can occur due to bone loss after teeth are missing.
- Existing teeth that are shifting or becoming loose due to gaps.
- Multiple missing teeth, impacting both function and aesthetics.
- Frequent mouth pain or sensitivity related to remaining natural teeth, which may indicate their removal is necessary.
Treatment Process at Dr. Gulshan's Dental Clinic
Getting your custom dentures at Dr. Gulshan's Dental Clinic typically involves these steps:
- **Consultation & Oral Evaluation:** Dr. Gulshan Singh will conduct a thorough examination of your oral health, discuss your needs, and determine if dentures are the right solution for you.
- **Impression Taking:** Precise impressions of your gums and any remaining teeth are taken. These impressions serve as a blueprint for fabricating your custom dentures.
- **Trial Fitting and Adjustments:** You'll receive a wax model or prototype of your dentures for a trial fit. This allows us to make necessary adjustments to ensure optimal comfort, bite, and appearance before the final product is made.
- **Final Denture Placement:** Once the final dentures are ready, they will be placed and adjusted to ensure a perfect fit and comfortable function.
- **Follow-up for Comfort and Maintenance:** We'll schedule follow-up appointments to check your comfort, make any minor adjustments, and provide instructions on proper denture care.
Prevention & Maintenance Tips
To ensure the longevity of your dentures and maintain good oral health, follow these essential tips:
- **Maintain Regular Oral Hygiene:** Clean your dentures daily using a soft-bristled brush and denture cleaner. If you have partial dentures, also brush and floss your remaining natural teeth.
- **Schedule Routine Dental Checkups:** Even with dentures, regular visits to Dr. Gulshan's Dental Clinic are crucial for monitoring your oral health and checking the fit of your dentures.
- **Avoid Hard or Sticky Foods:** Be cautious with foods that could dislodge or damage your dentures.
- **Remove Dentures at Night:** Taking your dentures out overnight allows your gums to rest and helps maintain their health. Store them in water or a denture solution.
- **Handle Dentures with Care:** Always handle your dentures over a soft towel or a basin of water to prevent breakage if they are dropped.
