Partial and Full Dentures in Austin, TX
Types of Dentures
Conventional Dentures
These dentures have an acrylic plate that provides retention. Conventional dentures are of two types:
- Partial dentures: If you have lost two or more teeth in an arch, we can replace them with partial dentures. They use the support of your adjacent teeth and underlying jawbone.
- Complete dentures: To replace a full set of missing teeth, our dentists provide complete dentures with a bigger acrylic plate for superior retention. The support for complete dentures comes entirely from your jawbone, so it needs to be in a healthy condition.
Implant-supported dentures
We usually prefer implant-supported dentures for a case of full-mouth rehabilitation. The primary advantage of implant-supported dentures is that they have better stability and retention than conventional ones. In this case, we insert 4 to 6 dental implants in your jawbone, and after proper healing, we will connect them with a full-mouth prosthesis. The procedure for implant-supported dentures may take longer than conventional partial and full dentures in Austin, TX.
Process of Partial and Full Dentures in Austin, TX
We will begin by taking dental impressions of your arches and sending them to a dental lab. Expert technicians will fabricate a denture that matches the natural contour and bite of your teeth. We will call you for a second visit to test the fitting of the denture. Your satisfaction is our top priority, so we will ensure that the denture rests comfortably in your mouth and has good retention. Our team will also give you the necessary instructions afterward to use, clean, and maintain your new denture.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get used to dentures?
It usually takes a few weeks to adjust. Eating and speaking may feel different at first, but this improves as your mouth adapts. Starting with soft foods and practicing speech helps speed things along.
How do I care for my dentures?
Rinse them after eating, brush them daily with a soft brush and non-abrasive cleaner, and soak them overnight in a denture solution. Also clean your gums and keep up with regular dental visits.
What's the difference between partial and full dentures?
Full dentures replace all the teeth in an upper or lower arch, while partial dentures replace only some missing teeth and attach to your remaining natural teeth. We’ll recommend the right option based on how many teeth you’re missing.
