If you have lost a significant number of your teeth, then to obtain a full smile again you need a full set of dentures. Our team can create and secure a removable set, and also support them with dental implants. In today’s blog, Dr. Robert M. Browne talks about securing a full set of new and lifelike dentures!
Preparing Your Smile for Dentures
If you have lost several of your natural teeth, then we could examine you to see if you need a full set of dentures. If so, we may gently extract the last few teeth, and then take detailed digital images and impressions of your bite, which are essential for designing and crafting your new teeth. We want to custom-make them to ensure not only a comfortable fit, but restored function to your bite. You could be able to smile with confidence and enjoy your favorite dishes with ease again! Every smile is unique, so a personalized approach is best.
Creating a Complete Set of New Teeth
Our team will employ the images and measurements taken of your smile to design and craft your new prosthetic. A full denture will contain a complete row of teeth made from ceramic, which can endure bite forces and be shaded to look natural too. These will be set in a base that is made from durable acrylic, and also designed to look like gum tissue. We want you to feel good when you smile, and improve your overall health with better nutritional intake since you can enjoy a wider array of meal options too.
Securing Your New Smile
How do we secure your new dentures? For a removable option, we typically use suction or possibly adhesives to keep them in place. These also need to be soaked and cleaned regularly to keep them strong and ensure they can last for years to come. We could also discuss dental implant support, in which we insert multiple implants per arch and connect the prosthetic to these, which fixes them in place, no need for removal for maintenance. These also tend to last a little longer than removable options. Our team can help you decide which is best for your smile and your budget!
