At Brisbane Street Dental Practice, we understand that tooth loss can impact your confidence, comfort, and quality of life. Dentures are a reliable solution to restore your smile and oral function. But how do you choose between full and partial dentures? Let’s explore the differences to help you make the right decision.

What Are Full Dentures?

Full dentures are designed to replace an entire arch of missing teeth, either on the upper or lower jaw. They are custom-made to fit snugly over your gums, providing a natural appearance and allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Who Needs Full Dentures?

  • Individuals with all or most of their teeth missing in one or both jaws.
  • Patients looking for a comprehensive solution to restore their smile.

Benefits of Full Dentures

  • Completely restore your ability to chew and speak.
  • Support your facial structure, preventing a sunken appearance.
  • Custom-designed for a comfortable and natural fit.

What Are Partial Dentures?

Partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth while preserving the remaining natural teeth. They are secured using clasps or attachments that connect to your existing teeth, ensuring stability and functionality.

Who Needs Partial Dentures?

  • Patients who still have some healthy teeth in the affected jaw.
  • Those seeking a cost-effective and minimally invasive tooth replacement option.

Benefits of Partial Dentures

  • Preserve the alignment of your natural teeth.
  • Prevent adjacent teeth from shifting into the gaps.
  • Maintain the integrity of your bite and chewing ability.

How to Decide Between Full and Partial Dentures

Choosing the right type of denture depends on your oral health, the number of teeth missing, and your personal preferences. During your consultation at Brisbane Street Dental Practice, our experienced dentists will evaluate your needs and guide you to the best solution.

We’ll consider:

  • The condition of your remaining teeth and gums.
  • Your lifestyle and budget.
  • Your goals for comfort and aesthetics.
