HOW DOES ONE ENSURE A SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME?
Your Denturist is able to provide you with the professional advice needed prior to choosing the denture that best suits your lifestyle. A thorough consultation and examination by your Denturist prior to any treatment is critical to achieving the best possible outcome.
The consultation gives you the opportunity to express your concerns and desires for your new dentures. It also allows your Denturist the opportunity to assess the oral conditions present and address your needs and expectations.
STANDARD OR PREMIUM PERSONALIZED DENTURES
Standard dentures may fit comfortably and chew well, but are designed for the average patient using basic tooth shades and shapes. Every denture patient – especially those with oral tissues which have resorbed (shrunk) or those who have unusual jaw relationships (bite) – may require a personalized denture that utilizes premium materials and precision techniques. With premium personalized dentures, esthetics, comfort, fit and function combine to allow your smile to look more natural.
Premium personalized quality dentures instill confidence and provide optimum function while eating, speaking or laughing.
Through the use of sophisticated instrumentation, from the impressions of your jaws to the specific jaw movements you make, all your facial information is recorded. Your Denturist is then able to recreate the character of your smile and restore the natural contour of your lips and facial muscles. Let your smile shine through!
You’ve been advised that you need an immediate denture…but what is it and how is it done?
This information will help to explain the concepts and answer questions you might have regarding this type of denture. Your Denturist can guide you as to when the situation warrants immediate dentures.
WHEN IS AN IMMEDIATE DENTURE USED?
To avoid the situation of being without teeth, your Denturist will implement the immediate denture technique. This involves taking impressions of your mouth while your natural teeth are still present. Your Denturist is then able to fabricate a denture in the likeness of your natural teeth, or make any necessary modifications you may wish.
When your natural teeth are extracted, your immediate denture is then inserted. With this technique, you have avoided having to go without any teeth while you go through the healing process.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT IMMEDIATE DENTURES
Since your Denturist is unable to try-in the denture prior to extracting your teeth, certain esthetic compromises may be necessary. This doesn’t present any significant problems, and the results are normally quite good.
It is important to follow the postoperative instructions of your Denturist or oral surgeon very carefully. As healing occurs, the oral tissues recede, so denture adjustments may be required. Follow-up appointments with your Denturist are necessary. To maintain the best fit and comfort, a temporary liner or tissue conditioner may be placed in the denture. During the next few months, bone and gum tissue will probably continue to shrink to some degree; however, the rate of change decreases with time.This a natural occurrence, which is to be expected. As the healing process is complete, either a new permanent full denture(s) will be made or your denture(s) will be relined or rebased to ensure the most comfortable fit possible.
Your Denturist will recommend the option that best meets your particular needs.
