Dentures are a reliable and effective solution for replacing missing teeth, restoring your smile, and improving your quality of life. At Brite Dental, with practices in Paisley, Bridge of Weir, Clarkston, and Edinburgh, we offer high-quality dentures that look natural and feel comfortable. Whether you’re missing a few teeth or an entire arch, dentures can help you regain confidence and functionality.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and the surrounding tissue. They’re custom-made to fit your mouth, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit. Dentures not only restore your smile but also help maintain the shape of your face and improve your ability to eat and speak.

There are two main types of dentures:

• Complete Dentures: These replace all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw. They rest directly on the gums and are often held in place with natural suction or denture adhesive.
• Partial Dentures: These replace one or more missing teeth and are anchored to your remaining natural teeth with clasps or precision attachments.

Benefits of Dentures

Dentures provide numerous benefits, including:

• Improved Appearance: Modern dentures are designed to look natural, restoring your smile and facial structure.
• Enhanced Functionality: Dentures make it easier to chew and speak, improving your overall quality of life.
• Boosted Confidence: A complete smile can significantly enhance your self-esteem.
• Custom Fit: Dentures are tailored to fit your mouth comfortably, ensuring a secure and natural feel.

How Dentures Are Made

At Brite Dental, we follow a detailed process to ensure your dentures are crafted to meet your unique needs:

1. Consultation: During your initial visit, we’ll discuss your goals and assess your oral health.
2. Impressions: We take precise impressions of your mouth to create a model for your dentures.
3. Fitting and Adjustments: Once your dentures are made, we’ll ensure they fit perfectly, making adjustments as needed for comfort.
4. Follow-Up Care: We’ll guide you on how to care for your dentures and schedule follow-up appointments to check your progress.

Adjusting to Your New Dentures

It’s normal to take some time to adjust to wearing dentures. Here are some tips to help:

• Practice Eating: Start with soft foods and gradually introduce harder textures as you get used to chewing with dentures.
• Practice Speaking: Reading aloud can help you adapt to speaking with dentures.
• Use Adhesive if Needed: Denture adhesive can provide extra stability and confidence.
• Stay Patient: It may take a few weeks to feel completely comfortable, but with time, dentures will feel natural.

Caring for Your Dentures

Proper care is essential to keep your dentures in excellent condition and protect your oral health:

• Rinse your dentures after eating to remove food particles.
• Brush your dentures daily with a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive denture cleaner.
• Soak your dentures overnight in a denture-cleaning solution to keep them moist and bacteria-free.
• Clean your gums, tongue, and any remaining teeth daily to maintain oral hygiene.
• Schedule regular dental check-ups at Brite Dental for professional cleanings and to ensure your dentures fit properly.

Are Dentures Right for You?

Dentures are a great option for many patients, but they’re not the only solution for replacing missing teeth. During your consultation, our dentists can discuss alternatives such as dental implants or implant-supported dentures, which offer additional stability and a more permanent solution.
