Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures and Partials
What are dentures?
Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth. Full dentures replace an entire set of teeth, while partial dentures are used to replace a few missing teeth while leaving the remaining natural teeth intact. Both types are custom-made for a comfortable and secure fit.
What are partial dentures?
Partial dentures are designed for patients who have some remaining natural teeth. These dentures fill in the gaps left by missing teeth and are attached to your natural teeth with a metal or acrylic framework to keep them securely in place.
How do dentures and partials work?
Dentures and partials are designed to restore the appearance and function of missing teeth. Full dentures fit snugly over your gums, while partial dentures are secured with clasps that anchor to your remaining teeth. Both provide improved chewing, speaking, and smiling.
How long will my dentures or partials last?
Dentures and partials are designed to last for many years, but they may need to be adjusted or replaced over time as your mouth changes. Regular check-ups at Northstar Family Dental will ensure your dentures or partials continue to fit properly and function effectively.
How long does it take to get dentures or partials?
The process of getting dentures or partials typically takes several visits. The first visit involves taking impressions of your mouth and designing your custom dentures. It may take a few weeks to have your dentures made, and once they arrive, we will ensure they fit comfortably and make any necessary adjustments.
Will my dentures or partials feel natural?
It may take some time to adjust to wearing dentures or partials, but over time, they should feel very natural. We work closely with our patients to ensure that their dentures or partials are custom-designed to fit comfortably and provide a natural appearance.
Are dentures covered by insurance?
Dentures and partials may be partially covered by dental insurance, depending on your specific plan. Our team is happy to assist you in understanding your insurance coverage and exploring financing options to make your treatment more affordable.
