A simple safe effective process to lighten your natural teeth. We provide you with a custom fitted tray that you can use at home along with a peroxide based gel. Tooth whitening can be used during the day or while you sleep. Tooth whitening can be done prior to denture or partial denture fabrication to achieve a whiter smile.
Relines consist of adding new pink material to the tissue side of a denture to ensure a tighter fit.
Relines may be required when there is a change in your gums due to:
🦷 weight loss/gain
🦷 loss of teeth
🦷 loss of bone
🦷 improper denture maintenance and denture hygiene
✓ Soft liners:
Acts as a cushion or shock absorber between the hard-plastic base and the gums. Great for people with chronic soreness, thin gum tissue or resorbed ridges. A soft liner can be placed in an existing denture or in the fabrication of a new denture. Recommended replacement for soft liner is approximately 3 to 5 years, depending on oral flora, medication and denture hygiene.
✓ An intraoral exam is required before getting started with relines.
An immediate denture is a denture that is fabricated by taking impressions/intra-oral scan before your natural teeth are extracted and is inserted immediately after the extractions.
Benefits:
🦷 To avoid the situation of being without your teeth while your gums are healing
🦷 Helps protect the extraction sites
🦷 Helps to maintain proper bite placement
🦷 Acts like a band-aid to protect the gums when eating
Expectations:
It is important to follow the postoperative instructions very carefully to aid in a proper healing process. As healing occurs, the oral tissues will shrink, and you may require a few adjustments from one of our denturists. During the next few months, the bone and the gum tissue will shrink at a fast rate. Adjustments during the healing process are normal and to be expected. As your gums heal they change and the denture can get loose and will need to be refitted periodically. After the healing process is complete your dentures will be relined, or we will start the fabrication of your new dentures.
A repair may be required when a tooth breaks or crack happens due to dropping your denture or wear & tear.
Most repairs can be done the same day and in some cases while you wait.
✓ One of our denturists will be needing to see you when you pick up the denture for quality control and expectations.
✓ An examination of your gums and dentures might be required before any of these procedures making sure it is the best option for you.
Dental implants are the closest possible replacement for your natural teeth. They have a long clinical history and excellent success rate.
The implants are a substitute root tip that maintains the integrity of the bone and forms a stable foundation for full or partial dentures. Implants help to preserve the bone by stimulating it as the tooth once provided.
Implant retained, or implant-supported full dentures are made to fasten onto implants in various ways. Implant-retained or supported dentures can greatly improve self-confidence and quality of life by providing better stability, security, better chewing ability, and providing an overall more natural feeling.
