Partials and Dentures in Pearland, Texas
At Anh B. Dao, DDS & Associates, we understand the impact missing teeth can have on your confidence, appearance, and overall oral health. Among our tooth replacement solutions, we offer removable partials and dentures in Pearland, TX, that are fully customized to meet your specific needs. Whether you have lost a few teeth or need your entire upper or lower arch replaced, our experts can design a restoration that restores both your smile and functionality.
Are Dentures or Partials the Right Choice for You
Removable dentures are a great option for those who have lost one or more teeth due to decay, dental trauma, or gum disease. Once tooth loss occurs, the bone in your jaw may begin to shrink (a process called bone resorption), which can affect your bite and facial aesthetics.
This is why we suggest getting your teeth replaced as early as possible. During your initial evaluation, our dentist will assess the health of your gums, jawbone, and any remaining teeth to determine the most suitable denture type. While most people are good candidates, we may recommend some additional procedures in certain cases, such as those with severe bone loss, to create a stable foundation.
Who Can Benefit From Our Custom Partials and Dentures
Depending on the number of teeth you have lost, we may recommend either a partial or complete denture.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures fill the gaps while preserving your existing natural teeth. They are an ideal choice for those who have lost a few teeth on one or both sides of the arch. Using the support of your jaw and remaining teeth, they provide better stability and improved function.
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures replace an entire dental arch, making them a perfect choice for those with multiple missing teeth. They have a gum-colored acrylic base that relies entirely on the support of your jawbone. The base holds a full set of artificial teeth that help restore your smile, chewing function, and facial structure.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect when getting a denture?
The overall process is easy, usually requiring a few visits. We will take impressions of your teeth to customize the denture and ensure it for a perfect fit.
Can I eat normally with my dentures?
You may need some time to adjust to eating with a denture, but soon enough, you will be able to enjoy many foods.
Will dentures affect how I speak?
Some patients notice minor speech changes at first, but they resolve quickly as you adapt to the new change.
Can I sleep with my dentures on?
We recommend removing them at night to give your gums a chance to rest and maintain your oral hygiene.
How do I clean my dentures?
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to clean the surface, but avoid using regular toothpaste as it can damage the material. Our dentists may also recommend denture-specific solutions for better cleaning.
