Missing teeth can affect how you eat, speak, and feel about your smile. At Select Dental Care, we offer dentures and partial dentures in Redmond, OR, to help replace missing teeth and restore everyday function.What to Expect During Denture Treatment
We start with an examination and discuss your dental history, oral health, and goals. We assess your gums, remaining teeth, and the areas where teeth are missing to determine which type of denture may work best for you.
If you move forward, we take measurements and impressions or digital scans to help create your denture. You’ll have opportunities to check the fit and discuss how it feels before we complete the process.
It can take some time to adjust to wearing a new denture. Your mouth may need to get used to the new appliance, and we can make adjustments if needed to improve comfort and fit.
How to Care for Your Dentures
Good denture care helps keep your appliance clean and comfortable. We recommend doing the following:
- Remove your dentures as directed, particularly while sleeping.
- Clean your dentures regularly using products recommended for dentures.
- Handle them carefully to avoid dropping or damaging them.
- Keep your mouth and gums clean, even when you wear full dentures.
- Continue regular dental visits so we can monitor your oral health and denture fit.
- If you have remaining natural teeth, continue brushing and flossing them every day.
Following your dentist's instructions and practicing good oral health habits can ensure your dentures or partials stay in excellent condition for many years.
