Removable Partial Dentures – A Comfortable & Natural-Looking Solution
At Polaris Dental in Brampton, we offer custom-designed removable partial dentures to help restore your smile and improve functionality. Partial dentures consist of replacement teeth attached to gum-colored bases, designed to fit seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Types of Removable Partial Dentures
✔ Metal Framework with Clasps – Securely attaches to existing teeth for durability.
✔ Precision Attachments – Aesthetic, clasp-free option for a more natural look.
✔ Crown-Supported Dentures – Crowns may be needed to improve denture fit and support attachments.
Your dentist will recommend the best option based on your oral health, comfort, and aesthetic goals.
What to Expect When Getting Partial Dentures
💡 Adjustment Period: New dentures may feel bulky or awkward at first, but your mouth will gradually adapt.
💡 Insertion & Removal: Requires practice, but should fit into place without force—biting down can damage clasps.
💡 Wearing Schedule: Initially, you may need to wear them continuously to identify any pressure points for adjustment.
💡 Eating with Dentures: Start with soft foods, chew on both sides, and avoid sticky or hard foods during the adjustment phase.
💡 Speaking with Dentures: If pronunciation feels challenging, practice reading aloud to help your tongue adjust.
Caring for Your Partial Dentures
✔ Daily Cleaning – Use denture cleaners instead of toothpaste, which can be abrasive.
✔ Proper Brushing – Use a soft-bristled brush to clean all surfaces and prevent staining.
✔ Rinsing & Soaking – Always rinse after meals and store in water or denture solution overnight to maintain shape.
✔ Handle with Care – Clean dentures over a soft towel or water-filled sink to prevent breakage if dropped.
🚫 Avoid DIY Repairs! Using store-bought adhesives or trying to fix dentures yourself may cause permanent damage. If your dentures break, crack, or loosen, contact your dentist immediately for professional adjustments.
When to Get Your Dentures Adjusted
Over time, natural bone and gum changes may cause dentures to feel loose or uncomfortable. Signs you may need an adjustment include:
🔹 Difficulty chewing or speaking
🔹 Sore spots or irritation
🔹 A loose or shifting fit
Regular dental checkups will ensure your dentures fit properly and your oral health remains in top condition.
