Dentures are personalized prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissue. They come in two main types: full dentures and partial dentures. Full dentures are a comprehensive solution, replacing all your natural teeth, while partial dentures seamlessly fill in the gaps created by a few missing teeth.
The result? A beautifully restored smile that looks and feels like your own.
Getting dentures is a meticulous process that ensures the perfect fit and function for your unique mouth. Here's what you can expect:
Initial Evaluation: During your first visit, our experienced dentist will carefully examine your mouth and take impressions of your teeth and gums. These impressions serve as the foundation for creating dentures that are tailored to your anatomy.
Customized Design: Using the impressions and a model of your mouth, your dentures will be customized to suit your needs. Our goal is to achieve a natural look that complements your facial features.
Fitting and Adjustments: Your next appointment involves fine-tuning the denture model to ensure a comfortable fit. You might also have the chance to try a temporary set to assess how they feel and make any necessary adjustments.
Final Fitting: Once your dentures are perfected, they will be crafted in a dental laboratory. During your final fitting, we'll make sure that they fit securely, enhancing both comfort and functionality.
The longevity of your dentures depends on the care they receive. With proper maintenance and regular checkups, dentures can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years. Our team will provide you with comprehensive care instructions, helping you enjoy your dentures for years to come.
