Complete Removable Dentures at Merrimack Smiles– Custom Solutions for a Confident Smile
At Merrimack Smiles in Merrimack, NH, we understand how missing teeth can affect your confidence and oral health. Our complete removable dentures restore your smile and enhance your quality of life. Our skilled team, led by Dr. Mark Morris, Dr. Julia Kapala, and Dr. Catherine Cagino, works closely with you to create a custom-fit denture that looks natural, feels comfortable, and fits your lifestyle.
What is a Complete Removable Denture?
A complete removable denture is a dental prosthesis that replaces all missing teeth on the upper and/or lower jaw, fitting over your gums and allowing for easy removal. At Merrimack Smiles in Merrimack, NH, our doctors use precise scans to create a custom-fit, comfortable denture that closely resembles natural teeth. We collaborate with you to select the shape, color, and size of your denture teeth, achieving a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
After you receive your denture, you may experience a brief adjustment period before it feels completely comfortable. During this time, we may perform a “reline” to adjust the inside of the denture base, ensuring it fits your gums comfortably. This step is normal and helps achieve a lasting fit, comfort, and functionality.
How to Care for Your Complete Removable Denture
Maintaining your complete removable denture is essential for preserving its function, appearance, and your overall oral health. Proper care extends the life of your denture and supports the health of the gum tissue beneath it. Here are essential steps to keep your dentures and gums in top condition:
- Daily Cleaning: Clean your dentures and gums every day. Use a non-abrasive denture toothpaste and rinse your dentures after each meal to prevent harmful bacterial buildup.
- Gum Care: Gently brush your gums with a soft-bristled toothbrush after meals and at least twice daily to maintain tissue health.
- Overnight Removal: Remove your denture each night to allow your gums and jawbone to rest, reducing the risk of irritation, bone loss, and infection.
- Keep Dentures Moist: Denture materials need to stay moist to avoid becoming brittle. Since saliva production naturally decreases with age, keep your dentures in a denture-safe solution overnight.
Annual Visit with Our Merrimack Smiles Team
In addition to your daily care at home, we recommend visiting us at least once a year for professional maintenance. During these visits, our team will:
- Review your home care routine and recommend improvements.
- Assess the fit and integrity of your denture.
- Check the health of your gums and underlying bone structure.
- Perform a professional cleaning of your dentures and gums.
These steps ensure your denture remains in excellent shape and that your mouth stays healthy, preventing issues like gum disease, bone loss, and challenges to your denture’s fit and function.
