How should I clean my dentures?

Just like natural teeth, dentures require maintenance and upkeep. Clean dentures promote better gum health and fresher breath.

Your dentist in Garland, TX, recommends:

Soaking your dentures overnight in a denture bath. You can add cleaning tablets to help kill germs
Brushing your dentures with a cleaning brush and denture polish intended for these prosthetics—never use toothpaste
Rinsing your dentures in room-temperature water following meals
Bringing your dentures into the dental office periodically for professional cleanings

Studies also link gum disease to severe conditions like heart complications and systemic health issues.

When It’s Time for a New Denture

Should I worry about my dentures being too loose?

Loose or ill-fitting dentures can make it difficult to speak or chew properly. If you have loose dentures, please schedule an appointment with Dr. Jung so he can make the necessary adjustments or repairs.

Why Are My Dentures Loose?

Dentures can become loose for different reasons, such as bone resorption, damage, and everyday wear and tear.

Bone resorption occurs when the gums shrink because they no longer hold teeth. When the gums shrink, it can make once well-fitting dentures feel loose and uncomfortable.
Damage to a denture may also result in a loose or uncomfortable fit. For example, if a denture dries out, cracks, or warps, it can cause pain and discomfort.
Everyday wear and tear can also alter the shape and strength of dentures. The better you care for your dentures, the longer they are likely to last and fit comfortably. To prevent damage, we recommend removing dentures before bedtime, storing them in water or denture solution, and avoiding chewing or biting hard food.

Wearing well-fitting dentures can improve one’s oral health and ability to eat, speak, and smile. They can also reduce the risk of bumps, pinches, and irritation of soft oral tissues.

Dr. Jung can quickly and effectively improve your dentures' fit so you can enjoy your smile to its fullest potential.

What is a partial denture?

A partial denture is a removable, natural-looking dental restorative that restores the function and form of your jaw by restoring one or multiple missing teeth. Partial dentures are made from a combination of different materials to handle chewing and talking needs.

Dr. Woo Sung Jung and his dedicated dental staff will make sure you are a good candidate for partial dentures.

Why Partial Dentures?

When Garland, TX patients are missing one or multiple teeth, the bite pressures shift in their mouths. Adjacent teeth may shift to compensate for the space in your smile, and there may be shrinkage of soft tissues and jaw bone near the missing teeth. This can alter how you look and lead to issues with existing teeth.

A partial denture preserves the foundation of your mouth like your bone, gums, muscles, tissues, active and engaged. It prevents further shifting of the neighboring teeth in your mouth while giving you the confidence of having a durable, natural-looking smile.

Benefits of Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are a minimally-invasive option that is a cost-effective option for restoring your teeth. They require a minimal amount of maintenance to keep them clean and functional.

Daily cleaning is essential and keeps the gums healthy.

Snap-On Dentures, Affordable Tooth Replacement

Snap-on dentures are the step between removable dentures and implant dentures and replace all missing in your upper or lower jaw. This type of denture uses dental implants in 3-D model of full dentures l dentist in garland tx your jaw to hold it securely in place.

Stability and retention are the biggest problems denture-wearers face. This is especially true with lower dentures that tend to be mobile because they don’t have much support.

Snap-on dentures in Garland, TX require at least two dental implants to hold them in place. Dr. Jung places the implants in your jawbone and leaves them to heal for several months. Dr. Jung then adds special attachments to the implants that snap onto your customized dentures.

Your dentures are still removable so you can clean them and also clean the area around your implants. Snap-on dentures eliminate the need for messy adhesives that can be expensive and don’t work that well. You can eat, speak, laugh, and smile with confidence without your dentures moving around in your mouth.

Stabilizing Your Upper Denture

Since your upper jaw bone is softer and these dentures are larger, they’ll require four or more dental implants to hold them in place. Upper snap-on dentures offer phenomenal retention, and since there’s no plate covering your palate, speaking is easier, and your ability to taste may even improve.

Over time, the attachments on the implants may start to wear out. This is to be expected, but it’s an easy process to replace them to restore stability to your denture. The dentures themselves will need to be relined or replaced at our Garland, TX dental office every three to five years.
