Removable Dentures
Removable dentures are prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and can be taken out and reinserted by the wearer. They are custom-made to fit comfortably in the mouth and are supported by the gums, restoring both the function of chewing and the appearance of a full smile. Dentures can be either full (replacing all teeth) or partial (replacing some missing teeth), depending on the patient’s needs. While they may take some time to get used to, they offer a practical and affordable solution for tooth loss.
Why Choose Removable Dentures?
Here are four reasons to choose removable dentures:
Removable dentures are typically more cost-effective than other tooth replacement options, making them an accessible choice for restoring a full or partial smile.
Unlike dental implants, dentures do not require surgery or complex procedures, making them a less invasive option for patients with missing teeth.
Dentures restore the ability to chew and speak properly, enhancing overall oral function and quality of life for those with missing teeth.
Removable dentures are custom-made to fit the individual’s mouth, providing a natural appearance that can greatly improve the look of the smile.
How Do Dental Crowns Work?
Consultation and Assessment
The dentist evaluates the patient's oral health, taking impressions of the mouth and assessing the number of teeth that need to be replaced. This helps create a customized treatment plan for the dentures.
Impression and Mold Creation
Precise impressions of the patient's gums and any remaining teeth are taken. These molds are used to design custom-fit dentures that will ensure comfort and functionality.
Fitting the Dentures
Once the dentures are crafted, the patient returns for a fitting. The dentist checks the fit and makes necessary adjustments to ensure the dentures are comfortable, secure, and functional.
Final Adjustments and Care Instructions
After the patient has worn the dentures for a short period, additional adjustments may be made to improve comfort. The dentist provides care instructions for cleaning and maintaining the dentures to ensure long-lasting use.
