Dentures in West Allis, WI
Dentures are custom-made replacements for missing teeth, designed to help improve your facial appearance and oral functions such as speaking and eating. At Third Coast Family Dental, we offer both full dentures and partial dentures to accommodate different needs. Full dentures are perfect for patients who have lost all their teeth in an arch, providing a complete set that brings back a natural-looking smile. Meanwhile, partial dentures are ideal for those who still have some natural teeth remaining, as they fill in the gaps and prevent other teeth from shifting. Opting for dentures from Third Coast Family Dental not only restores your smile but also boosts your confidence and quality of life. Trust us to provide you with dentures that offer comfort, aesthetics, and functionality.

How do I clean dentures?
Cleaning your dentures is essential for maintaining good oral hygiene and ensuring the longevity of the dentures. Here’s a simple step-by-step process to keep them clean:
- Remove and Rinse: After eating, remove your dentures and rinse them under warm water to wash away food particles. Avoid using hot water as it can warp the dentures.
- Brush Daily: Use a soft-bristled brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner to gently brush all surfaces of the dentures. Don’t use regular toothpaste as it can scratch the surface.
- Soak Overnight: Most dentures need to remain moist to keep their shape. Place them in a mild denture-soaking solution overnight. This also helps to remove stains and bacteria.
- Rinse Before Wearing: After soaking, rinse the dentures thoroughly under water before putting them back in your mouth, especially if using a cleaning solution that contains bleach.
- Regular Dental Check-Ups: Regular visits to your dentist are important for ensuring the proper fit and condition of your dentures, as well as for your overall oral health.
Following these steps will help you maintain your dentures effectively and ensure they remain clean, comfortable, and functional.

What are partial dentures?
Partial dentures are dental prostheses designed to replace one or more missing teeth when some natural teeth still remain. Made from a mix of metal and acrylic for durability and a natural look, they attach to natural teeth with clasps or precision attachments, helping to prevent other teeth from shifting and supporting facial structure. These removable devices improve chewing and speech and maintain facial aesthetics.
