Dentures: Restoring Confidence and Functionality with a Natural Smile
Replacing missing teeth with dentures helps maintain the natural shape of your face while preventing sagging in the cheeks and jaw. Dentures are custom-designed to restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence, offering a natural appearance that blends seamlessly with your facial features.
Types of Dentures
Immediate Dentures
Immediate dentures are placed immediately after teeth extraction, providing a quick solution to missing teeth. As your gums heal over the first six months, follow-up appointments for adjustments and relining ensure a proper fit.
Traditional Dentures
Traditional dentures are created after your gums have fully healed from extractions. These stable, well-fitting dentures require fewer adjustments over time, offering a durable and natural-looking solution for replacing a full set of teeth.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth and fit seamlessly with your natural teeth. Lightweight and customizable, they improve alignment and restore your ability to eat and speak comfortably.
Characterized Dentures
Characterized dentures mimic the unique details of natural teeth, such as variations in color, texture, and shape. These dentures are custom-designed for a lifelike appearance, offering a high level of customization.
Getting Dentures: The Procedure
- Initial Consultation: The dentist takes impressions and/or digital scans of your gums to create a precise model.
- Fitting and Adjustments: During follow-up appointments, adjustments are made to ensure comfort and functionality.
- Final Placement: Once the dentures are ready, they are fitted, and any final adjustments are made as needed.
How to Care for Your Dentures
Proper care extends the lifespan of your dentures:
- Remove at Night: Let your gums rest by taking your dentures out before bed.
- Clean Daily: Use a soft-bristled brush and denture-safe toothpaste to clean your dentures. Soak them overnight in a denture solution.
- Handle with Care: To prevent damage, fill your sink with water or lay down a towel while cleaning your dentures.
Benefits of Dentures
- Restore Functionality: Regain the ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently.
- Natural Appearance: Designed to blend with the look of your natural teeth.
- Cost-Effective Solution: A reliable, affordable option for tooth replacement.
