What are the denture options available?
Dentures aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Dentures come in several shapes and sizes to suit different needs. Rebuild and refresh your smile with the following denture options.
- Complete dentures: Have you lost all your upper or lower teeth? Full dentures are one of the best options to restore your smile’s function and aesthetics. A complete denture consists of prosthetic teeth resting on a gum-colored base. The results are so natural, and no one will know you are wearing dentures.
- Partials: It’s the preferred choice when you have lost several teeth. A partial is a customized restoration that fits snugly over the edentulous space. It’s secured to the nearby teeth with a detachable framework.
Dentures are called false teeth, but they don’t look anything like what their name suggests. Modern dentures are created from realistic-looking materials to replace your teeth without the typical dentures look. Your restoration is also customized to fit your gum contours precisely. Our high-quality dentures look natural and fit comfortably like natural teeth. With proper maintenance, they can last for many years.
What can I expect from the denture treatment?
It starts with a consultation to discuss your eligibility for a complete denture or partial. We’ll assess your oral health needs and prepare a customized treatment plan detailing timelines and the cost breakdown. Then, we’ll take impressions of your teeth to guide your denture fabrication. Our partner dental lab handcrafts your denture, paying close attention to color, fit, facial features, etc.
In approximately 2-3 weeks, your custom denture will be ready for pickup. We will fit your denture to ensure it looks natural and feels comfortable. Additionally, we will provide you with instructions on how to keep your denture in excellent condition.
How long does it take to get used to my dentures?
It typically takes about 2-4 weeks to get used to wearing dentures, although this timeline can vary depending on the individual. Initially, your mouth and gums need time to adjust. You may feel sore spots, mild discomfort, or tightness as the dentures settle. Speaking and eating may also feel challenging at first. As your mouth muscles adapt, you’ll become more comfortable talking, eating, and wearing the dentures for longer periods.
Here are tips to adjust to your denture faster:
- Start with easy-to-chew foods and gradually introduce harder foods
- Practice speaking out loud to improve speech clarity
- Follow your dentist’s instructions for proper cleaning and care
- Schedule follow-up appointments to address any discomfort or adjustments needed
Your mouth will adjust in just a few weeks, and any initial challenges you experience will diminish. If discomfort persists beyond a few weeks, consult your dentist to ensure the dentures fit properly.
