When should I call my dentist?
You should call your dentist if you feel anything abnormal in your mouth, such as swelling gums, sudden pain, and uncontrollable bleeding. If you suddenly lose one or more teeth, contact a dentist as soon as possible for the best chance of reimplantation.
wILL DENTURES CHANGE MY FACE?
Yes, in the best way possible. Dentures support your facial structure and help strengthen your jaws, which can help you maintain a more youthful appearance. Without dental implants, your jaw will slowly atrophy from a lack of chewing, which can lead to sunken cheeks, wrinkles, and other negative changes. Dentures can help you avoid these facial regressions and give you a beautiful smile in the process.
What happens during a dental consultation?
A dental consultation will allow professionals such as us to determine the best path forward for your oral health. We will begin with a brief conversation about your current dental health and any issues you are facing. Then we will perform a clinical examination of your teeth and gums, and use x-ray imaging to diagnose any problems. Once we have determined your current oral health, we will work with you to determine what treatments and dentures we suggest, if any. A denture consultation is not a commitment, but simply the first step towards good oral hygiene.
How are dentures attached?
If you want permanent dentures installed, they will usually be attached to your jaw through implants. Instead of resting atop your gums like normal dentures, permanent dentures are directly attached to your jaw using tiny threaded posts, almost like screws. While some implant dentures can only be removed by your dentist, other models can be snapped on and off to allow for convenient cleaning. Talk to your dentist to determine whether implant dentures are the best choice for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which type of denture is best for me?
There are several types of dentures, including full dentures, partial dentures, and implant-supported dentures. Here at Denture Design, our team of experts can help show you what the best fit for you is!
Will Dentures really help me?
Absolutely! When it comes to your missing teeth, dentures can help you get your smile back all while supporting the structures in and around your mouth. This provides a youthful appearance.
How long will dentures last?
With the proper care, dentures can last 5 years or more. It is highly recommended that you have them evaluated every 5 years to make sure they are still in good shape and don’t require any adjustments.
Can Dentures be repaired if they break?
Yes, they can! Your dentures can be repaired if they are broken. It is important that your team of denture experts professionally repairs any cracks or breaks to ensure optimal comfort for you and your mouth.
How should I clean my dentures?
It is best to clean your dentures over the sink or with a damp towel to avoid breaking them if they fall. Once you are set up, hold them softly between your thumb and fingers and brush them using a denture brush and denture cleaner. You should be able to purchase these items at your local pharmacy. Use only lukewarm water and avoid gritty pastes or powder of any sort. We also recommend you clean your dentures after every meal to ensure proper care and promote their longevity.
What are the benefits of having dentures?
Dentures have a wide range of benefits. They can improve and brighten your smile by replacing missing teeth. They can support your oral health by allowing you to use your jaw more often, which prevents bone resorption. They can help you chew and speak more effectively if you have been missing teeth for a long time, improving your nutrition and your quality of life. All in all, dentures are well worth the cost.
How long does it take to get used to dentures?
Generally, it will take around one to two months to get your mouth used to wearing dentures, though that time is variable depending on how much work you put in. If you wear your dentures as much as possible during the day and spend time practicing common actions like speaking and chewing, you can get used to them much faster. Just make sure to pace yourself, especially as you get used to chewing harder foods.
Can I sleep with dentures in?
Dentists recommend that you do not sleep with dentures in, in order to protect your gums from inflammation, prevent bacteria buildup, and keep your dentures safe from loosening and wearing down. Sleeping without your dentures in is the best option for both your dental health and your dentures’ health.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Absolutely! Dentures are designed specifically with eating in mind, and you can consume most types of food with your dentures in. It will take some time to get used to chewing with dentures, so start slow with soft foods and work your way up. Remember to avoid sticky food like gum and taffy, and be sure to clean your dentures often.
What not to do when you first get dentures?
When you first get dentures, you should make sure to avoid wearing them for too little or too long. Not wearing them enough will prevent your mouth from getting used to them, while wearing them all day and night can put unnecessary pressure on your gums. You should start eating soft and simple foods to get used to chewing, and avoid hard, high-temperature foods until your gums have healed. Finally, make sure to always keep your dentures soaking in water when you are not wearing them, to keep them from drying out.
Will it be hard to speak with dentures?
It may take some time to get used to speaking once you get your dentures in, because your teeth and tongue work together when you talk. You may start to lisp, and have trouble pronouncing “S”, “F”, and “D” noises. Once you get used to wearing your dentures, however, you will be able to talk normally without any issue.
how are dentures made?
After our professionals meet with you and examine your mouth, we will begin the denture construction process. We begin by taking impressions of your teeth, using either traditional impression materials or advanced 3D scanners. We will also use soft wax to capture an impression of your bite, so we know how your teeth fit together. Once we have all of our data, we will create a wax prototype of your custom dentures, so you can offer feedback on its fit and comfort. From there we will develop the final design of your permanent dentures for you to wear and enjoy.
