Dentures are an option for replacing missing teeth. They are a removable plate which hold one or more artificial teeth and can be good option if your jawbone cannot support dental implants.
Full Dentures: Full dentures are used when there are no teeth on the upper or lower jaws. Both top and bottom dentures rely on the gum ridge and suction created by the denture for stability.
Partial Dentures: Partial dentures are used when there are only a few teeth missing. It is a removable dental appliance that helps restore the function and form of your jaw and will help stop your remaining teeth from moving.
Appointments
During your initial visit we will perform an oral examination, x-rays and impressions. We will also discuss the shade, size and shape of your new teeth. At your next appointment we will discuss your bite to ensure your upper and lower teeth line correctly. We will also create a wax mock up which will allow you to understand the look and feel of your dentures before finalising the set. Your last appointment will be your insertion date when you get to leave with your new set of dentures.
Maintenance
Dentures are taken out every night and require daily cleaning with a denture brush and cleaner. Overnight they can be soaked in denture solution. Even with dentures, regular dental check ups are still necessary to have your dentures examined and professionally cleaned. We will also make sure your dentures still have a proper fit to prevent slippage and discomfort. And with any check up, we will also examine the inside of your mouth to make sure it’s healthy. Call us today to discuss your denture options.
