What are the Different Types of Dentures Available?
There are several types of dentures available, and we can help you choose the best option based on your needs, budget, and preferences:
- Traditional Dentures: These are full, non-surgical dentures that you can easily remove for cleaning. They grip around your dental arch and bone, relying on suction to stay secure.
- Partial Dentures: A removable piece that fills in the gaps left by several missing teeth. You can remove it for cleaning and sleeping.
- Implant-Supported Dentures: These dentures snap onto dental implants, offering a more secure fit than traditional dentures. They are also easy to remove for cleaning and help prevent future bone loss. They are customized dentures securely attached to dental implants in your jawbone, offering exceptional stability and functionality.

How Do I Care for My Dentures?
Proper care for your dentures is essential to maintain their appearance and function. Clean them daily using a soft-bristled brush and mild denture cleaner. Soak them in water or a denture solution when not in use to keep them moist. Regular check-ups with Dr. DeFont will help ensure your dentures fit well and stay in good condition.

Can Dentures Be Worn Overnight?
While you can wear dentures overnight, it’s generally recommended to remove them to give your gums a rest. Taking your dentures out at night helps prevent irritation and allows your gums to recover. Dr. DeFont can provide personalized advice based on your specific needs.
