Our dental practice provides dentures as a powerful solution to enhance your smile, improve oral health, and elevate your overall well-being. We encourage you to schedule a consultation, where Dr. Gill will help you determine the most suitable denture option for your individual needs. At Prabhdeep K. Gill DDS Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we take a comprehensive approach to your oral health and care.

While experiences vary, dentures that are expertly fitted by our team can provide a high level of comfort. The initial adjustment period may cause some discomfort and a feeling of bulkiness, but this typically resolves within a few weeks as your mouth adapts.

The comfort of your dentures will depend largely on the quality of the fit and the materials used. We ensure that your dentures fit well to prevent movement in the mouth, reducing discomfort and sore spots. Ill-fitting dentures can cause problems with eating and speaking and may result in mouth sores. We utilize modern denture materials such as durable plastic, acrylic, or metal, designed to replicate the feel of your natural teeth and gums. These materials are lightweight and resilient, built to endure the daily forces of biting and chewing.

We stress the importance of good oral hygiene practices for overall comfort, including daily denture cleaning and regular dental check-ups. Regular consultations during the adjustment period ensure a comfortable fit, help address any discomfort, and make necessary modifications. If there is persistent discomfort, it’s crucial to discuss other options, including alternative treatments.

For individuals missing several teeth but still retaining healthy ones, partial dentures are often a recommended option. These dentures are designed to seamlessly fit around your remaining natural teeth, filling in the gaps left by missing teeth. The benefits of partial dentures include maintaining natural teeth, improving chewing function, enhancing appearance, minimizing bone loss, and providing a comfortable and secure fit.

For those who have lost all their teeth in either the upper or lower jaw, full dentures may be the ideal solution. These dentures are crafted to replace all missing teeth, restore full functionality, and provide stable, easy-to-maintain options. Additionally, full dentures are custom-made to give a natural appearance, helping to boost your confidence and improve your smile.

At our dental practice, we ensure that both partial and full dentures are tailored to match the natural color, shape, and size of your existing teeth. This personalized approach offers a discreet, seamless solution that blends harmoniously with your smile for a natural look.

Both partial and full dentures offer significant benefits that can greatly improve oral health, functionality, appearance, and quality of life. The choice between them largely depends on a person’s specific needs and dental status. Dr. Gill, with her extensive training and experience, will guide you through the process, ensuring you receive the most appropriate solution for your dental needs.

At the dental practice of Dr. Prabhdeep K. Gill DDS, we recognize how vital it is to properly maintain your dentures to ensure they last and function effectively. We emphasize that regular care is key to preserving their durability, appearance, and overall performance for your long-term oral health.

Daily Care:

• Handle with Care: We recommend handling your dentures with the utmost care to avoid breakage. Always fill your sink with water and line it with a soft towel while cleaning it. This is particularly important if they slip out of your hand, as the water or towel will minimize the risk of damage.
• Cleanse Regularly: Like natural teeth, dentures must be cleaned every day to remove food particles and plaque, thus preventing staining. We advise brushing them twice daily with a soft-bristled brush and a non-abrasive denture cleanser.
• Rinse Thoroughly: After every meal, brush, and soak, remember to rinse your dentures. This simple act aids in maintaining their cleanliness by removing any residual cleaner or debris.
• Soak Overnight: Most dentures need to stay moist to keep their shape. Therefore, place your dentures in water or a mild denture-soaking solution overnight.

Weekly Care:

• Deep Clean: For a more thorough clean, soak your dentures in a stronger denture-cleaning solution once a week. This helps to remove stubborn stains, bacteria, and odor.
• Inspect: Regularly inspect your dentures for any signs of wear, damage, or loose fittings. If you detect any issues, contact our practice to schedule an appointment.

Additional Care Considerations:

• Avoid Hot Water: To prevent deformation, never boil your dentures.
• Store Dry: Store dentures in a dry case when not in use to inhibit bacterial growth.
• Protect from Chemicals: Keep your dentures away from harsh chemicals, such as bleach or household cleaners.
• Regular Dental Check-ups: At our Fresno dental practice, we recommend regular check-ups to ensure that your dentures fit properly and to address any necessary adjustments or repairs.
