Introduction
Missing teeth could interfere with eating food; they could ruin the pronunciation of words or the smile. This would have an adverse effect on self-esteem. At the Olive Branch Dental Clinic, Columbus, custom-made dentures are designed to restore function and give you back a natural-looking and comfortable smile.

Definition of Dentures
Dentures are removable prostheses for missing teeth and adjoining tissues. They are made similar to your own natural teeth such that you may regain appearance and oral function. The two major categories are
Full Dentures- Suitable for patients missing all teeth one of the upper or lower jaw. Full complete dentures can be classified as immediate (inserted the same day when natural dentures are lost) or conventional (inserted after tissues are healed).
Partial Dentures- For patients who have partial dentition and still possess some healthy natural teeth, partial dentures can be used as filling dentures in the spaces left by missing teeth. The remaining natural teeth support the framework for partial dentures.

Maintenance of Your Dentures
With appropriate care, your dentures will last longer and remain comfortable:
Brush clean dentures daily with a smooth-bristled brush and non-abrasive cleanser.
Once rinsed after every meal, remove any tiny edible particles stuck to the denture.
When the denture isn’t being utilized, keeping it moist will guard against its warping.
Keep brushing your gums and tongue to help your dental health.

Are Dentures Right for You?
Dentures are a good option for many patients, but they may not be the only one. At your consultation, your dentist will evaluate your mouth and talk to you about whether you need dentures, dental implants, or a bridge.

Conclusion
With proper maintenance and professional advice from Olive Branch Dental in Columbus, dentures will be a simple yet effective way to restore your smile and improve your standard of living. Enjoy that newly acquired self-worth and oral health for the long term.
