When it comes to dentures, it’s important to be thoroughly aware of your options and what to anticipate–regardless of whether you are contemplating dentures for the first time or want to replace an existing pair.
Throughout your journey toward a healthier smile, we want to make sure that you feel secure and well-informed by providing you with information that is both useful and informative.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable dental appliances used to repair lost teeth and the tissues surrounding them. They can improve your smile and attractiveness because they are manufactured to mimic your teeth precisely. It is possible to speak, chew, and smile more efficiently with dentures since they improve the appearance of your teeth and restore their function.
Types of Dentures Offered
At Endicott Dental, we offer various types of dentures, each designed to meet different needs:
- Complete Dentures: These are used when all the teeth are absent from either the upper or lower jaw, or both of them for that matter. Dentures that are complete are supported by suction and are positioned so that they rest on the gums in some cases, with the help of an adhesive.
- Partial Dentures: Those who still have some of their natural teeth are the best candidates for these. In addition to preventing other teeth from slipping, they fill the areas that are left available by missing teeth. Both clasps and precision attachments are utilized in the process of affixing partial dentures to natural teeth.
- Immediate Dentures: These may be positioned as soon as the teeth are extracted because they are created beforehand and can be positioned. The benefit is that you do not have to be without teeth during the healing period. However, they may require more adjustments to fit properly during healing.
- Overdentures: A removable dental prosthesis known as an overdenture is a device that covers and rests on one or more of the tooth roots that are still present or dental implants. Compared to conventional dentures, they provide greater stability and support.
Benefits of Choosing Dentures
- Enhanced Smile and Facial Aesthetics: Dentures are custom-made to match your facial structure and desired look, helping to fill out your facial profile and improve your smile.
- Improved Oral Functions: With dentures, you can enjoy eating foods you love without difficulty, and speech improvements are often noted, as dentures help form phonetic sounds.
- Affordable and Non-Invasive: Dentures are generally less expensive than implants and require no surgery, making them a cost-effective and non-invasive solution for tooth replacement.
The Process of Getting Dentures
- Initial Consultation: The first step in our procedure is a comprehensive consultation, during which we discuss your needs, expectations, and any health concerns. This step may include X-rays or impressions to create accurate models of your mouth.
- Custom Design and Fitting: Your dentures will be custom-designed to fit comfortably and look natural. The longevity and attractiveness of our products are ensured by the use of high-quality materials. You may require several appointments to ensure the fit is perfect and comfortable.
- Adjustments: It’s common to need adjustments as you get used to your new dentures. We encourage regular follow-up appointments to make any necessary modifications to improve comfort and functionality.
Caring for Your Dentures
Proper care can extend the life of your dentures and keep them looking their best. Here are a few tips:
- Daily Cleaning: Just like natural teeth, dentures require removing plaque and food particles, brushing should be done every day. Make use of a brush with gentle bristles and a cleanser that is not harsh.
- Soak Overnight: To maintain their shape, the majority of dentures require that they be kept moist. Please place them in water or a mild denture-soaking solution overnight.
- Handle with Care: Dentures should be handled cautiously since they are fragile. Your dentures are delicate and can break if dropped.
