Frequently Asked Questions
Dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace missing teeth due to gum disease, damage, or trauma. They are suitable for people who have lost all or some of their teeth. Dentures are available in materials like chrome, acrylic, or Valplast.
Dentures are appropriate for a wide range of situations. If you have no remaining teeth, you may need a full denture. If you’re missing some teeth, a partial denture can be a suitable solution. Dentures restore your ability to chew and speak and also help prevent a sagging facial profile by filling out your cheeks, lips, and restoring your jaw height.
The process of getting dentures involves two steps. First, you’ll undergo an examination, and impressions of your mouth will be taken. Then, you’ll have a trial fitting to ensure your denture fits and feels comfortable. If you’re satisfied, the laboratory will complete the final steps. Periodic adjustments may be needed as you get used to your dentures.
Yes, there are alternatives to dentures, such as dental implants or a fixed bridge. In some cases, dentures can be secured on top of implants for added stability and comfort. Our dentists can discuss these options with you to determine the best solution for your needs.
