Dentures: Restoring Function and Aesthetics
Understanding Dentures
Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissue. For patients who have lost many or all of their teeth, dentures provide the ability to chew properly and speak normally.
Additionally, dentures support a natural-looking smile and maintain facial structure, preventing the sunken appearance that can result from the loss of teeth and gum tissue.
Types of Dentures
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures are used to replace all the teeth in either the upper (maxillary) arch or the lower (mandibular) arch. These dentures provide a comprehensive solution for those who have lost all their teeth in a particular arch, restoring both function and aesthetics.
Partial Dentures: A Comprehensive Solution for Missing Teeth
Purpose of Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are designed to replace some of the teeth in cases where natural teeth still remain. They help restore functionality and aesthetics by filling the gaps caused by missing teeth.
Process of Creating Your Perfect Dentures
Crafting your ideal set of dentures involves several appointments over a few weeks.
Here is what you can expect:
Initial Consultation:
Our dentist at Valley Centre Dental Group will take precise molds and measurements of your mouth.
This ensures that your dentures will fit comfortably and function properly.
Fabrication:
The dentures are then fabricated based on the molds and measurements taken.
Fittings and Adjustments:
Once the dentures are ready, additional fittings and adjustments may be required.
These appointments ensure that the dentures fit properly, function effectively, and look natural.
