Regain Your Confidence with Dentures From Four Zero Five Dental Aesthetics.
Dentures are removable prosthetic teeth designed to replace missing teeth. Whether you need full or partial dentures, these appliances restore both the function and appearance of your smile. Full dentures are ideal when all natural teeth are missing, and they come in two variations: complete sets for total tooth replacement, and partial sets for replacing only some of the teeth.
Treatment Options at Four Zero Five Dental Aesthetics
For those considering All-on-4 implants, it’s essential to have enough bone density to ensure successful implant bonding. If there is bone loss, a bone grafting procedure may be required prior to the implant surgery. A thorough health and medical assessment will be conducted to ensure the best possible outcome and healing.
Conventional Full Dentures
Once all teeth are removed, your dentist will wait for the gums to fully heal before placing conventional dentures. This healing process can take a few months, during which you may be without teeth.
Immediate Full Dentures
Immediate dentures are custom-fitted before your teeth are extracted, allowing your dentist to place them right after removal. This option ensures you won't experience any period without teeth, but a follow-up visit will be needed to adjust the fit, as your jawbone may change shape during healing.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are ideal when only some teeth need replacement. These removable appliances function like a bridge but are not permanently fixed in your mouth.
While dentures may feel bulky or loose at first, especially when eating or speaking, your mouth will adjust with time, and they will gradually feel more comfortable. Even though they may not feel as natural as your own teeth, they offer a significant improvement over missing teeth.
Caring for Your Dentures
Although dentures are not real teeth, proper care is essential. Be sure to brush them regularly to remove plaque and food particles. When not in use, soak your dentures in room-temperature water or a denture cleaning solution. Never use hot water, as it can damage the dentures. Always handle them gently to avoid dropping them and refrain from trying to adjust them on your own. If your dentures feel loose or uncomfortable, consult your dentist for a proper fit.
