Regain Your Smile with Dentures from Four Zero Five Dental Aesthetics.
Dentures are prosthetic teeth that are removable and are utilized to fill in gaps left by missing teeth. Patients may be fitted for 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 variations: complete sets that replace all natural teeth, and partial sets that only replace some missing teeth.

Patients considering All-on-4 implants must have adequate bone mass for successful bonding. In cases of bone loss, a bone grafting procedure may be required prior to implant surgery. Your overall health and medical history will be evaluated to ensure a successful procedure and recovery.
Traditional Full Dentures
After all of your teeth have been extracted, dentures will be fitted once your gum tissue has fully healed. It may take a few months for the gums to heal completely, so you will be without teeth during this time.
Full Dentures Available Immediately
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 removed. They function similarly to a bridge but are not permanent in your mouth.
It may take some time to adjust to wearing dentures. The flesh-colored base sits over your gums, which some people may find bulky at first or feel like there isn't enough room for their tongue. Initially, the dentures may feel loose, impacting your eating and speaking. However, with time, your mouth will adapt, and the dentures will feel more natural. While they may never be 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 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 harm the dentures. Handle your dentures with care to prevent dropping them, and never attempt to adjust them yourself. If they feel uncomfortable or loose, always seek assistance from your dentist.
