Partial and Full Dentures Near Baton Rouge, LA

If all, or almost all, of your natural teeth are missing, a dentist will most likely recommend full dentures. If you have a few natural teeth, the process of receiving full dentures will involve their removal. After your mouth has healed, a cast of your mouth is then taken and a permanent set of dentures are designed.

How Do Dentures Work?

It is a common misconception that dentures are ill-fitting, uncomfortable and need large amounts of adhesive to stay in place. While this may have been true for dentures in the past, dentistry has come a long way. Dentures today rarely require extra support or adhesive and are almost indistinguishable from natural teeth. When worn correctly, the natural suction of your mouth works to firmly hold dentures in place during everyday activities.

Dentures are generally only worn during the daytime and are placed in a cleaning solution at night. This removal allows for your dentures to stay clean and gives your mouth a chance to rest and clean itself as well.
