With our denture services, you can look forward to the restoration of your smile and the renewed sense of self-assuredness it brings.
Dentures FAQ
What are dentures?
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They help restore the function and appearance of your natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak and smile with confidence. Dentures are custom-made to fit your mouth and can be either full or partial, depending on your specific needs. Full dentures replace all the teeth in either the upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures fill in the gaps created by missing teeth, preventing other teeth from shifting.
What is the process for receiving dentures?
The process for receiving dentures typically involves several appointments. Initially, our dentist will evaluate your oral health and take measurements and impressions of your mouth. These impressions are used to create a model for your dentures. Once the dentures are made, you will have a fitting appointment to ensure they fit properly and comfortably. Our dentist may make adjustments to achieve the best fit. Finally, you will receive instructions on how to care for your dentures and maintain good oral hygiene.
How will dentures benefit me?
Dentures offer numerous benefits for individuals with missing teeth. They restore your ability to chew and eat a variety of foods, which is essential for good nutrition. Dentures also improve speech that might have been affected by tooth loss. Aesthetically, dentures enhance your smile and support facial muscles, preventing the sunken appearance often associated with missing teeth. Additionally, dentures boost self-confidence and overall quality of life, allowing you to engage in social activities without feeling self-conscious.
What types of dentures are available?
There are several types of dentures available to suit different needs.
- Full dentures, also known as complete dentures, are used when all teeth in an arch are missing.
- Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain; they fill in the gaps and prevent other teeth from shifting.
- Immediate dentures are placed immediately after tooth extraction, providing a temporary solution while your gums heal.
- Implant-supported dentures are anchored to dental implants, offering a more secure and stable option compared to traditional dentures.
