Dentures

Dentures are a practical solution for restoring a natural-looking smile and functional teeth when natural teeth are missing or need to be removed. They offer various benefits and considerations for those seeking a non-surgical dental option.

Who Needs Dentures?

Partial Dentures: These are suitable when several adjacent teeth are missing. They rely on adjacent teeth for support, filling gaps and restoring chewing ability and aesthetics.

Full Dentures: If most or all teeth in an arch are missing or need removal due to damage or decay, full dentures provide a complete set of replacement teeth. They are custom-made to fit comfortably over the gums and jawbone, restoring both appearance and function.

Benefits of Dentures

Dentures provide a range of benefits for individuals dealing with tooth loss or requiring extensive dental restoration. They restore essential oral functions, such as chewing and speaking, which may be compromised due to missing teeth. By filling in gaps and supporting facial muscles, dentures also improve appearance, preventing the facial sagging that can occur when teeth are absent. This restoration of a natural-looking smile enhances confidence and social interactions, as individuals feel more comfortable with their appearance.
Dentures replicate natural teeth, enhancing facial appearance and boosting confidence.

How Dentures Are Fitted?

Initial Consultation: Your dentist will assess your oral health and determine if dentures are suitable for you.

  • Extractions (if needed): For full dentures, any remaining teeth that cannot be saved will be extracted. This process ensures a clean slate for the denture fitting.

  • Impressions: Precise molds (impressions) of your gums and any remaining teeth are taken. These impressions serve as a basis for crafting custom dentures that fit snugly and comfortably.

  • Temporary Dentures (if necessary): While your final dentures are being fabricated, temporary dentures may be provided to allow you to eat and speak normally during the healing period.

  • Final Fitting: Once your gums have healed, the final dentures are fitted and adjusted for comfort and function. Your dentist will show you how to insert, remove, and clean your dentures to maintain good oral hygiene.

  • Follow-Up Care: Regular check-ups are essential to ensure your dentures fit well and to address any adjustments needed as your mouth adjusts to the new prosthetic.
