Partial Dentures in Denver, CO

Mile High Denture and Implant Centers offer partial denture options to meet the individual needs of patients. Partial dentures are used to replace missing teeth when other dental procedures, such as implants and bridges, are not an ideal solution. They are made from high-quality materials that closely resemble natural teeth in both look and feel, making them comfortable and durable. With the help of Mile High Denture and Implant Centers, patients can find an attractive smile solution that fits their lifestyle.

What are Partial Dentures?

Partial dentures are designed to replace one or more missing teeth and help restore the appearance of your smile. They are typically removable, but can sometimes be permanently attached to the adjacent teeth through a dental bridge. Partial dentures are made from acrylic, metal, or a combination of both materials and can be customized for each individual patient.

Metal Vs Acrylic Partial Dentures

Metal partial dentures are made from a combination of cobalt or chrome alloys that provide strength and durability. This type of partial denture is best for patients who require a stronger restoration, as the metal components can withstand more wear-and-tear. Acrylic partial dentures are composed of flexible, acrylic materials that can be easily manipulated to fit the patient’s mouth. They are best for patients who want a more natural-looking restoration, as the acrylic can be shaded and shaped to resemble your existing teeth. Acrylic partials can also be easier to insert and remove than metal partials.

The Partial Denture Process

At Mile High Denture and Implant Centers, our team of experienced denturists will work with you to determine the best partial denture solution for your needs. During your initial consultation, we will take impressions of your mouth and use them to create a model of the denture. We will then discuss the materials, design, and shading of your partial denture before making any modifications or adjustments to ensure a perfect fit. Once the dentures are completed, our team will provide thorough instructions on how to properly care for and maintain your new partial denture.

Improved function: Partial dentures help restore the ability to eat, speak, and smile properly increasing self-confidence.

Caring for Full Dentures

It is important to clean and maintain your partial dentures regularly to keep them looking great and ensure they last for years. Daily cleaning of the denture is essential to remove plaque and bacteria that can cause staining and bad breath. We recommend brushing the dentures with a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive denture cleaner. We also recommend soaking the dentures in a cleaning solution overnight. Additionally, it is important to keep your dentures away from hot water as this can cause them to warp and become ill-fitting. Lastly, be sure to also bring your dentures in for regular check-ups and adjustments as needed.
