Dentures 101: Types, Benefits, and Care Tips

Missing teeth can affect your ability to speak, eat, and smile with confidence. Dentures offer a reliable solution to restore your smile and oral function. At Towson Dental Group, we provide customized denture options to fit your needs. Here’s everything you need to know about dentures—the types available, their benefits, and how to care for them.


Types of Dentures


1. Full Dentures

Full dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth—either the upper, lower, or both. They are ideal for patients who have lost most or all of their natural teeth.


2. Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are designed for patients who still have some natural teeth. They fill gaps between existing teeth, helping maintain alignment and function.


3. Implant-Supported Dentures

For extra stability, dentures can be anchored with dental implants. This option prevents slipping, improves comfort, and offers a more natural feel.


Benefits of Dentures


Improved Appearance: Dentures restore your smile and facial shape, preventing the sunken look that comes with tooth loss.

Better Function: Enjoy eating and speaking more comfortably.

Cost-Effective: Compared to implants, dentures are an affordable tooth replacement option.

Custom Fit: Modern dentures are designed for comfort and a natural look.


Denture Care Tips


Clean Daily: Brush your dentures with a soft brush and mild soap or denture cleaner. Avoid using regular toothpaste, which can scratch them.

Soak Overnight: Keep dentures in water or a denture solution to maintain their shape.

Handle with Care: Dentures can break if dropped, so always handle them over a soft surface.

Maintain Oral Health: Even with dentures, it’s important to clean your gums, tongue, and any remaining teeth daily.

Schedule Regular Checkups: Dentures need adjustments over time as your mouth changes. Regular visits ensure a proper fit.
