What Are Dentures and Partials?
Dentures and partials are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and the surrounding gum tissue. They are custom-made to fit comfortably and naturally in your mouth, restoring both the aesthetics and function of your smile.
Complete Dentures: If you are missing all of your teeth in an upper or lower arch (or both), a complete denture replaces the entire set. These are designed to rest on your gums and are held in place by suction or dental adhesive.
Partial Dentures: For individuals missing some but not all of their natural teeth, partial dentures are an excellent solution. They fill the gaps created by missing teeth, preventing remaining teeth from shifting out of alignment and preserving your natural bite. Partial dentures often use clasps that attach to your existing healthy teeth for stability.
Benefits of Dentures and Partials
Choosing dentures or partials from West Sahara Dental offers a multitude of benefits, including:
– Restored Aesthetics: Achieve a complete and natural-looking smile, boosting your self-confidence.
– Improved Chewing Function: Enjoy a wider variety of foods with enhanced chewing ability.
– Clearer Speech: Missing teeth can affect pronunciation; dentures and partials help restore clear speech.
– Facial Support: Dentures help maintain the natural shape of your face and jawline, preventing a “sunken” appearance that can occur with tooth loss.
– Prevention of Tooth Shifting (Partials): Partial dentures help keep your remaining natural teeth in their proper positions, preventing misalignment.
– Affordable Solution: Compared to some other tooth replacement options, dentures and partials offer a cost-effective way to restore your smile.

Types of Dentures and Partials We Offer
At West Sahara Dental, we provide a variety of denture and partial options to best suit your individual needs and preferences:
– Conventional Full Dentures: Made after any necessary extractions and after your gum tissue has fully healed, providing a precise and stable fit.
– Immediate Full Dentures: Placed immediately after tooth extraction, allowing you to have teeth during the healing process. Adjustments will be made as your gums heal.
– Cast Metal Partial Dentures: Known for their strength and durability, these partials feature a thin metal framework for a secure and comfortable fit.
– Flexible Partial Dentures: Made from a flexible, nylon-based material, these are often more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing as the clasps can blend seamlessly with your gum tissue.
– Acrylic Partial Dentures (Flippers): A more economical and often temporary solution, typically used while waiting for a more permanent appliance.

The Denture and Partial Process at West Sahara Dental
Getting your custom dentures or partials at West Sahara Dental typically involves a few appointments:
1. Comprehensive Consultation: We begin with a thorough examination of your oral health, discuss your needs and goals, and determine the best type of denture or partial for you.
2. Impressions and Measurements: Precise molds (impressions) of your mouth are taken to ensure your dentures are custom-fabricated for a perfect fit.
3. Try-In Appointments: You’ll have several “try-in” appointments where we ensure the shape, color, and fit are just right, making any necessary adjustments.
4. Final Delivery and Adjustments: Once your custom dentures or partials are ready, we will precisely adjust and place them, providing you with care instructions and scheduling follow-up appointments for any minor adjustments needed as your mouth adapts.
FAQs
Complete dentures are used when all teeth in an arch (upper or lower) are missing, replacing the entire set. Partial dentures, on the other hand, are used when some natural teeth remain, filling the gaps created by missing teeth and preventing the shifting of your remaining natural teeth. Both are custom-made to fit comfortably and restore your smile.
With proper care and regular dental check-ups, dentures and partials can typically last between 5 to 10 years. Over time, your mouth naturally changes, which may require adjustments, relining, or even replacement of your dentures to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. We’ll discuss the expected lifespan during your consultation at West Sahara Dental, convenient for Spring Valley and Summerlin residents.
Absolutely! At West Sahara Dental, we prioritize a natural aesthetic. Our custom dentures and partials are designed to match your facial features, skin tone, and the natural appearance of any remaining teeth. We use high-quality materials and precise craftsmanship to ensure your new smile looks seamless and beautiful.
Caring for your dentures or partials is crucial for their longevity and your oral health. We recommend cleaning them daily by brushing with a soft-bristled brush and a non-abrasive denture cleanser. It’s also important to soak them overnight in water or a denture-soaking solution to keep them moist. We’ll provide detailed care instructions specific to your appliance during your visit to our office near Spring Valley and Summerlin.
There will be a brief adjustment period as your mouth adapts to your new dentures or partials. Initially, you might find certain foods challenging or experience slight changes in your speech. However, with practice and patience, most patients quickly adapt and can eat and speak comfortably and confidently. Our team at West Sahara Dental will offer tips and guidance to help you through this transition.
The best way to determine if dentures or partials are the right solution for your tooth loss is to schedule a comprehensive consultation at West Sahara Dental. We’ll conduct a thorough examination of your oral health, discuss your individual needs and goals, and explore all available tooth replacement options, including those suitable for patients from Spring Valley and Summerlin.
