Finding the Right Dentures for You
There are different products designed to help replace your natural teeth, and at Siouxland Dental Health in Sioux City, we’re frequently asked to explain the different terms. Generally speaking, dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth. Complete dentures are used to replace a complete set of teeth. Partial dentures, also known as “partials,” replace only a few missing teeth. “Over-dentures” is another confusing term, but it’s simply the name for dentures that fit over a small number of your remaining natural teeth or implants. Another area of confusion for patients is conventional dentures versus immediate dentures. With conventional dentures, Dr. Meis makes and places them after the remaining teeth are removed and the tissues have healed. Immediate dentures are placed immediately after the removal of the remaining teeth. Dr. Meis will address your unique situation with dentures that are perfect for your lifestyle and needs. For more information about the different types of denture products and to help you determine which is right for you, make an appointment with Dr. John Meis by calling our Sioux City office today at (888) 516-2576.

Don't Forget to Floss! Clean between teeth daily with floss or an interdental cleaner. Decay-causing bacteria can hid between teeth where toothbrush bristles can't reach. Flossing helps remove plaque and food particles from between teeth and under the gum line. Visit Our Office Regularly! Take good care of your smile. Remember to visit the dentist regularly for professional cleanings and oral exams. Mouthwash Is Important, Too! Brushing and flossing may not be enough. The ADA now recommends using an antimicrobial mouthwash to reduce plaque and prevent gingivitis. |
