Dentures

 Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Consider them as a set of false teeth that you can easily put in and take out of your mouth. They're designed to look and function like your natural teeth, helping to restore your smile and your ability to eat and speak properly.

Dentures can be complete or partial. Complete dentures are used when all your teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when you still have some natural teeth remaining. The choice between complete and partial dentures depends on how many teeth you've lost.

The process of getting dentures usually involves several appointments over a few weeks. We first take measurements and impressions of your jaw to create a model of your mouth. This model is then used to construct your custom dentures.

Once your dentures are ready, we'll fit them in your mouth and make any necessary adjustments to ensure they're comfortable and function correctly. It may take a bit of time to get used to your new dentures, but with patience and practice, you'll soon be able to eat and speak comfortably.

Caring for your dentures is crucial. They should be cleaned daily, just like natural teeth, to remove food particles and plaque, and to prevent staining. Even if you wear full dentures, you still need to take care of your gums, so make sure to brush your gums, tongue, and roof of your mouth every morning before you put in your dentures.

Dentures are a durable and cost-effective solution that can last for many years with proper care. Regular dental check-ups are important to ensure your dentures continue to fit properly, and to monitor your oral health. With dentures, you can continue to enjoy life with a full, confident smile!
