Get Your Smile Back With Dentures From Four Zero Five Dental Aesthetics.
Artificial teeth known as dentures can be removed and are utilized to replace missing teeth. Patients may be fitted with either full dentures, which are necessary when all natural teeth are missing, or partial dentures, depending on their specific requirements. Full dentures are available in two varieties: complete sets that replace all natural teeth, and partial sets that only replace some missing teeth.
Treatment Options At Four Zero Five Dental Aesthetics
Patients who are considering All-on-4 implants must have enough bone mass for the implants to bond successfully. If there is bone loss, a bone grafting procedure may be required before the implant surgery can take place. Your health and medical history will be evaluated to ensure a successful procedure and healing process.
Conventional Full Dentures
Once all teeth have been extracted, dentures will be fitted once the gum tissue has fully healed. It may take several months for the gums to heal completely, leaving you without teeth during this period.
Immediate Full Dentures
Before your teeth are removed, your dentist will take measurements and custom fit the dentures to your mouth. The dentures will be placed immediately after the extraction to prevent any time without teeth. A follow-up visit will be required 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 great option when not all of your teeth need to be extracted. They function similarly to a bridge but are not permanent fixtures in your mouth.
Adjusting to your dentures may take some time. The flesh-colored base sits over your gums, which some individuals may find bulky initially or feel like there isn't enough space for their tongue. You may also experience some looseness in the dentures at first, impacting your eating and speaking abilities. However, as your mouth adapts, the dentures will feel more natural. While they may never feel completely comfortable, they are a significant improvement over having no teeth.
Even though dentures are not real teeth, it is essential to care for them properly. Brush your dentures to eliminate plaque and food debris before removing them. Once removed, soak them in room temperature water or a denture cleaning solution - avoid using hot water as it can harm the dentures. Handle your dentures with care to prevent dropping them, and never attempt to adjust them on your own. If they feel uncomfortable or loose, always seek assistance from your dentist.
