Dentures

Teeth can be lost for many reasons, such as an injury, advanced gum disease, or simply the wear and tear of time. But when several teeth are lost at once, it can feel like a real setback. At Guiding Light Dental, we offer dentures to help you get back to enjoying life fully.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace missing teeth and the surrounding tissue. They’re made from durable materials like acrylic or a combination of acrylic and metal, designed to mimic the look and function of natural teeth.

What Types of Dentures Are Available?

Complete Dentures

Complete dentures are used when all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw need to be replaced. They are designed to fit over the gums and provide a full set of teeth.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are used when only a few teeth are missing. They are designed to fill in the gaps, attaching to your natural teeth with metal clasps or other support mechanisms.

When DO YOU NEED Dentures?

If you're missing teeth due to injury, decay, or other factors, dentures may be a great solution for restoring both the function and appearance of your smile.

Dentures are also ideal for individuals who may not be candidates for dental implants or who prefer a more affordable option for replacing missing teeth.

Why Choose Dentures Over Other Restorations?

Affordability

Dentures are often a more budget-friendly option compared to dental implants or bridges. They provide an effective solution without the higher costs that can come with other restorative procedures.

Non-invasive Solution

Unlike dental implants, which require surgery, dentures are a non-invasive option. This makes them a great choice for those who want to restore their smile without undergoing a surgical procedure.

Customizable and Comfortable

Dentures are custom-made to fit your mouth, ensuring a comfortable and natural-looking result. With proper care, your dentures will last for many years.

How to Care for Your Dentures

Rinse after meals – Rinsing your dentures after meals helps remove food particles and keeps them clean. ‍
Brush daily – Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive cleaner to gently clean your dentures. ‍
Soak overnight – Soak your dentures in water or a denture solution overnight to prevent them from drying out. ‍
Avoid hot water – Never use hot water to clean your dentures, as it can cause them to warp. ‍
Visit your dentist regularly – Regular check-ups ensure your dentures remain in good shape and fit properly.
