Regain your Smile with Dentures from Four Zero Five Dental Aesthetics
Dentures are artificial teeth that can be easily removed and are used to replace missing teeth. Patients may receive either full dentures, which are needed when all natural teeth are missing, or partial dentures, depending on their individual needs. Full dentures come in two types: complete sets that replace all natural teeth, and partial sets that only replace some missing teeth.

Before undergoing All-on-4 implants, patients must have sufficient bone mass for successful bonding. If there is bone loss, a bone grafting procedure may be necessary prior to the implant surgery. Your health and medical history will be assessed to ensure a successful procedure and recovery.
Traditional Complete Dentures
After all teeth are removed, dentures will be placed once the gum tissue has fully healed. It may take several months for the gums to heal completely, so you may be without teeth during this time.

Your dentist will take measurements and custom fit the dentures to your mouth before removing your teeth. The dentures will be placed immediately after the extraction to avoid any time without teeth. A follow-up visit will be necessary to adjust the dentures as the jawbone may change shape during the healing process. Once your jaw has fully healed, the dentures will need to be readjusted for a secure fit.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are a good choice when not all of your teeth need to be removed. They work like a bridge but are not permanent fixtures in your mouth.
Getting used to your dentures may take some time. The base, which is flesh-colored, covers your gums, which some people may find bulky at first or feel like there isn't enough room for their tongue. You may also experience some looseness in the dentures initially, affecting your ability to eat and speak. However, as your mouth adjusts, the dentures will feel more natural. While they may never feel completely comfortable, they are a big improvement over having no teeth.
Even though dentures are not real teeth, it is important to take care of them properly. Brush your dentures to remove plaque and food particles before taking them out. After removing them, soak them in room temperature water or a denture cleaning solution - avoid using hot water as it can damage the dentures. Handle your dentures carefully to avoid dropping them, and never try to adjust them yourself. If they feel uncomfortable or loose, always seek help from your dentist.
