Partial Removable Dentures in Merrimack, NH – Custom Solutions for a Confident Smile
At Merrimack Smiles in Merrimack, NH, we know how missing teeth can impact your confidence and daily life. Our partial removable dentures offer a reliable solution designed to restore your smile and help you enjoy life to the fullest. With our experienced team—Dr. Mark Morris, Dr. Julia Kapala, and Dr. Catherine Cagino—we’ll create a comfortable and custom-fit denture that looks natural and feels great.
What is a Partial Removable Denture?
A partial removable denture is a dental prosthesis designed to replace one or more missing teeth while allowing you to keep your natural teeth. This removable prosthesis fits snugly over your gums and can be easily taken out for cleaning or at night. At Merrimack Smiles, we use advanced technology and techniques to ensure your partial denture blends seamlessly with your natural smile.
After taking precise scans of your mouth, our doctors will design a custom-fit, comfortable denture, working closely with you to determine the shape, color, and size of the teeth, creating a natural-looking and beautiful smile.
Once you receive your new denture, there will be a brief adjustment period where you’ll get used to wearing the prosthesis before it feels completely natural. During this time, you may need to come back to our office for a reline of your partial denture’s base. This is a normal part of the denture process, where the doctor adjusts the inside of the base that fits over your gums.
How to Care for Your Partial Removable Denture
Proper care of your removable partial denture is crucial for maintaining the health of your remaining teeth and ensuring the longevity of your prosthesis. Like natural teeth, your removable partial denture requires daily cleaning to maintain its optimal appearance, and function, and prevent the buildup of harmful bacteria. Here are essential care tips:
- Daily Cleaning: Brush and rinse your partial dentures with a non-abrasive denture toothpaste daily. After eating, brush and rinse your dentures, gum tissue, and natural teeth.
- Maintain Gum Health: Brush your remaining natural teeth and gum tissue at least twice daily to keep them healthy.
- Overnight Removal: Take your partial dentures out each night to allow your gum tissue and underlying bone a break. This prevents 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.
Routine Visits with Our Merrimack Smiles Team
In addition to daily care at home, regular visits with our doctors and team are essential to keep both you and your denture in optimal function and health. During these visits, our team will:
- Review the effectiveness of your home care techniques and tools used.
- Assess your partial denture to ensure its integrity and fit.
- Check the condition and health of your underlying gum tissue, bone, and remaining natural teeth.
- Professionally clean your partial denture, gum tissue, and remaining natural teeth.
These steps help keep you and your denture in optimal condition and maintain a healthy mouth, preventing issues like bacterial buildup that can lead to gum disease, bone loss, and challenges in wearing your partial denture.
