What Are Dentures?
Dentures are synthetic replacements for missing natural teeth, designed to help fill out your facial profile and improve your appearance. They also make it easier to eat, chew, and speak regularly. Dentures are removable and must be cared for and cleaned regularly. There are different types of dentures to suit varying needs, including partial dentures, full dentures, and overdentures.
Types of Dentures
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace one or more missing teeth in a specific area of the mouth. They consist of artificial teeth attached to a gum-colored base, which is custom-made to blend in with the patient’s natural gum tissue. Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain in the mouth, providing support and stability for the appliance. They restore the appearance of the smile, improve chewing ability, and prevent neighboring teeth from shifting out of position.
Full Dentures
Full dentures, also known as complete dentures, are removable dental prostheses that replace all of the teeth in one or both dental arches (upper or lower). These prosthetics consist of artificial teeth set in a gum-colored base, designed to fit snugly over the gums and jawbone. Full dentures are used when all natural teeth in a dental arch are missing or need to be removed. They restore the ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently, while also supporting the facial muscles and maintaining the shape of the face.
Overdentures
Overdentures are removable dental appliances that fit over a few remaining natural teeth or dental implants. They provide enhanced stability and retention compared to traditional dentures. Overdentures consist of artificial teeth set in a gum-colored base, designed to fit securely over the remaining teeth or implants. They offer improved chewing ability and comfort while also preserving the health of the underlying bone and soft tissues. Overdentures are an excellent option for patients who have some remaining natural teeth but require additional support for their prosthetic teeth.

Caring for Your Dentures
Proper care and maintenance of your dentures are crucial for ensuring their longevity and keeping your mouth healthy. Here are some tips for looking after your dentures and any remaining teeth:
Immediate Dentures
After tooth removal, your dentist might suggest leaving your dentures in for 24 hours. If unsure, ask your dentist. Do not sleep with your dentures at all to prevent infection. Remove them every night, and clean both the denture and your mouth to maintain oral health and hygiene.
Cleaning Your Dentures
- Rinse dentures in cold water to remove loose food particles.
- Brush dentures using an ordinary or denture toothbrush and soft soap or washing up liquid. Avoid using toothpaste.
- Use a denture cleaning solution recommended by your dentist.
- Rinse dentures after every meal to remove food particles.
Storing Your Dentures
- Most dentures should be kept in water or a denture cleaning solution overnight to prevent them from drying out and losing their shape. This is especially true for traditional acrylic dentures. Keeping them moist helps maintain their fit and comfort.
However, some partial dentures with metal components may require different care. It is essential to follow the specific care instructions provided by your dentist or the manufacturer for these types of dentures. If you are unsure, consult your dental professional for the best advice on how to care for your particular type of denture.
- Change the water daily to prevent it from going stale.
- Keep dentures in a closed container if you have pets.
- Looking After Your Mouth. Brush remaining natural teeth with fluoride-containing toothpaste to prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
- Use a different toothbrush for your teeth and dentures.
- Brush gums, tongue, and roof of your mouth with a soft toothbrush.
