Types of Dentures at Our Greensboro Location
- Full Dentures: Full dentures, also known as complete dentures, are used when all the natural teeth are missing in either the upper or lower jaw, or both. These dentures consist of a flesh-colored acrylic base that fits over the gums and a set of artificial teeth. Full dentures are secured in place by creating a suction effect with the gums or by using denture adhesive.
- Partial Dentures: Partial dentures are utilized when some natural teeth still remain in the upper or lower jaw. They consist of a metal framework that attaches to the remaining teeth, with artificial teeth filling the gaps. Partial dentures replace missing teeth and prevent the remaining natural teeth from shifting out of position.
- Immediate Dentures: Immediate dentures are placed in the mouth immediately after the extraction of the natural teeth. These dentures are pre-made before the teeth extraction, ensuring that patients don’t have to go without teeth during the healing period. Although immediate dentures offer convenience, adjustments may be necessary as the gums and underlying bone heal and shrink.
- Overdentures: Overdentures are the removable dental appliance that fits over a small number of remaining natural teeth or dental implants. By utilizing the support of the remaining teeth or implants, overdentures provide increased stability and help preserve the jawbone.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: Implant-supported dentures offer the highest level of stability and comfort. These dentures are anchored to dental implants that are surgically placed into the jawbone. Implant-supported dentures provide a secure fit, improved chewing efficiency, and enhanced facial aesthetics.

Learning to Care for Dentures
Proper care and maintenance of dentures are essential to ensure their longevity and to promote oral health. Here at our Greensboro office we will give you a crash course on how to properly care for your dentures to make them last. Here are a few important tips that we give patients:
- Clean dentures daily: Rinse your dentures after meals and brush them with a soft-bristle toothbrush and mild denture cleaner to remove food particles and plaque.
- Handle with care: When cleaning or removing your dentures, be careful not to drop them, as they can break easily. Hold them over a folded towel or basin of water to avoid damage.
- Soak dentures overnight: To keep your dentures moist and prevent them from warping, soak them in water or a denture cleaning solution overnight. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper denture care.
- Visit your dentist regularly: Regular dental check-ups are crucial for maintaining oral health and ensuring the proper fit and function of your dentures. Your dentist can make adjustments or repairs as needed.
