FAQs

Partial dentures are ideal if you have some remaining healthy teeth but also have missing teeth that affect your smile, chewing, and speech.

While some people choose to keep their partials overnight, our doctors may recommend removing them for cleaning and to allow your gums to rest.

Complete dentures replace all teeth in an upper or lower jaw. During your consultation, we'll discuss the options for complete dentures.

Maintaining good oral hygiene remains important even with dentures. Brush your gums daily and clean your dentures regularly following your dentist's instructions.

There are various types of partial dentures, such as cast-metal and flexible partials. Contact us and get in touch with one of our prosthodontics to determine the most suitable option for your case.
